of various forms of brain injury.

ethical implications involving patients with impaired
consciousness, are thoroughly presented.

This first monograph from New York-based Young Projects explores a
new approach to spatial design that combines digital and analog
methods at the intersection of exploration and architecture. This
monograph introduces the cutting-edge research and work of Young
Projects, founded by Bryan Young, where materiality, structure, and
form intersect to generate new architectural typologies. The book
presents a selection of the practice's most relevant projects: five
innovative houses completed between 2015 and 2020 as well as less
in-depth looks at other projects that define the practice. Each
house serves as a chapter through which Young Projects' broader
body of work is explored across scales, illustrated through a rich
landscape of drawings, diagrams, renderings, mock-ups, prototypes,
and photography. The through-line connecting all chapters is the
studio's interest in using ambiguity and anomaly to create novel
and accessible spaces, whether for high profile clients like Heidi
Klum or a new resort in St Kitts. Young Projects seeks to draw
users into immersive spatial experiences that unfold over time, in
a manner that is familiar but subtly foreign. This quality of
"allure" is a result of a unique and experimental approach to
materiality and spatial legibility. These are the threads that tie
the work together and have set Young Projects apart as an emerging
practice, as well as inform the larger-scale projects the studio
undertakes as it enters its second decade. Young Projects' process
often begins with simple exercises in making: form-finding
experiments they undertake within their Brooklyn studio. Material
research has included hand-pulling plaster with an irregular knife,
using furniture foam as a casting bed, and forming concrete with
palm stems. These experiments, among many others, mine
characteristics that are not typically associated with conventional
architectural materials and break traditional methodology, allowing
for qualities of randomness and spontaneity to enter the process of
making. The studio finds that letting go of control (at the right
moments) produces results that are often surprising, entirely
bespoke, and resist replication.

Lost at the Con tells the tale of a drunken political journalist
and his dangerous assignment to a science fiction and fantasy
convention. Though he'd rather be at home drinking his liver to
death, his spiteful editor delivers an ultimatum: take the
assignment or lose the steady paycheck. Since Cobb can't afford to
turn down the job, he heads to Atlanta and dives head first into
the realm of Griffin*Con, renowned the world over as the Mardis
Gras of geek conventions. There, he finds all of the science
fiction, fantasy, and cosplay he would expect, but he also finds
something more sinister: a seedy underbelly of geeky debauchery,
slash fiction, booze, sex, and drugs. Can he make it through this
assignment without snapping and winding up on the front page
himself? Or will the entire experience change him in ways he never
imagined possible? It's been called "A masterful blend of fictional
Gonzo journalism and geek culture that is sure to please audiences
inside and outside the geek community."
Lost in time after a failed attempt to kill Hitler before his rise
to power, World War II soldier Cpl. Jack Mallory finds himself
stranded, his whole team killed, nearly 100 Million years off
course. Together with a group of other wayward time travelers,
Mallory has to fight to survive in a hostile environment swarming
with dinosaurs. Desperate to find a way home, the community of lost
travelers searches for any solution that might send them all home
and unlock the secret that shipwrecked them on the shores of
time... But the jungle holds a secret from Mallory's future-past...
...and it's out to kill them all
Few authors have had as much influence on the youth of America than
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. He brought morality and humanism to the
forefront of millions of minds and into the mind of one man in
particular. Author, documentary filmmaker, and longtime Huffington
Post contributor, Bryan Young has been a lifelong fan and student
of Vonnegut's. God Bless You, Mr. Vonnegut is his love letter to
the late writer, collecting essays, short stories, and other
material written over the last ten years, all of it about, or
directly inspired by, Vonnegut. From Huffington Post: Young
displays here both his depth as a writer and passion for the art
itself-much of which he traces back to Kurt Vonnegut. In a chapter
devoted to teachers, Young recounts both experiences in his own
public schooling and his feelings for Vonnegut as a passive teacher
of sorts. Young also touches on the incredibly personal and
political, recounting painful dealings with the US "health care
system." There's a little bit of everything in here. And something
for everyone. And at $3.99, it's hard to go wrong.
