Amazing Sculptural Book Art Brian Dettmer is an American artist who takes old books and turns them into beautiful works of art by cutting away selected parts to reveal layered images and text. I know when I was a child, I was told tons of times never defacing books. But I have to say, I was really impressed by this set of work. 1. 2. 3. 4.The Birge Colonial Book. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9 .Music of the World, 2009. and Complete Book of Ballets, 2009. 10.

Abandoned Astronaut Reentry Technique In November of 1966, the General Electric Re-Entry Systems Department published a brochure describing a "lightweight, erectable, one man re-entry vehicle for emergency return to earth." MOOSE allowed one astronaut to leave his malfunctioning spacecraft, de-orbit and land safely (hopefully) on earth. In a few excerpts, here's a condensed version of the step by step process: "The astronaut dons a maximum protection space suit. The MOOSE unit is attached to the back of the suit to which are also attached oxygen tanks and a chest-type parachute." He removes the MOOSE and unfolds a six foot Mylar plastic bag and attached heat shield. The astronaut pushes himself away from the disabled spacecraft and activates two foam canisters in the Mylar bag. "At this point the astronaut is comfortably encapsulated with foam at his back and sides , the front of his body protected only by the aluminum plastic sheet." This is where the fun part begins! It's just that easy!
