Now, the universe's most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter, and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.Canadian Home Video Rating: 18A.MPAA rating: R.Blu-ray disc, AVC @ 27 MBPS (requires Blu-ray player for playback) ; anamorphic widescreen format (2.39:1 aspect ratio) ; DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1, DTS-HD Digital surround 5.1 DVS, Dolby digital 5.1.- Subjects: Feature films.; Science fiction films.; Video recordings for people with visual disabilities.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Predator hunting; Extraterrestrial beings; Interplanetary voyages; Human-alien encounters;

- We are eating the Earth : the race to fix our food system and save our climate / by Grunwald, Michael,1970-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Humanity has cleared a land mass the size of Asia plus Europe to grow food, and our food system generates a third of our carbon emissions. By 2050, we're going to need a lot more calories to fill nearly 10 billion bellies, but we can't feed the world without frying it if we keep tearing down an acre of rainforest every six seconds. We are eating the earth, and the greatest challenge facing our species will be to slow our relentless expansion of farmland into nature. Even if we quit fossil fuels, we'll keep hurtling towards climate chaos if we don't solve our food and land problems. In this rollicking, shocking narrative, Grunwald shows how the world, after decades of ignoring the climate problem at the centre of our plates, has pivoted to making it worse, embracing solutions that sound sustainable but could make it even harder to grow more food with less land. But he also tells the stories of the dynamic scientists and entrepreneurs pursuing real solutions, from a jungle-tough miracle crop called pongamia to genetically-edited cattle embryos, from Impossible Whoppers to a non-polluting pesticide that uses the technology behind the COVID vaccines to constipate beetles to death. It's an often infuriating saga of lobbyists, politicians, and even the scientific establishment making terrible choices for humanity, but it's also a hopeful account of the people figuring out what needs to be done -- and trying to do it.- Subjects: Agricultural systems.; Climatic changes.; Food security.; Food supply; Human ecology.; Sustainable agriculture.;
