A Happy Man. by G., Soňa,film director.; First Run Features (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by First Run Features in 2023.In this longitudinal observation, director and social anthropologist Soňa Lutherová presents an intimate portrait of a family in which one of the parents is transitioning. People who knew "R" perceived her as a happy woman. A Czech woman in her thirties, she moved to Sweden with her husband, psychiatrist Ivan. In their new country, the young couple bought a house and had two children. It seemed that their lives would continue in a predictable way. As a distraction from the routine, "R" chose an unusual hobby: she created a male alter-ego and started writing novels for LGBTQ+ audiences. "R" was happy but felt empty on the inside. She could only fill it by living out her true self. Things started speeding up and "R" began changing. "R" is now Marvin. And Marvin is a man. A HAPPY MAN tells an intimate story about a transgender man and his family. It encourages the viewers to consider different existential connections that concern each and every one of us.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Dallas PI Dylan Fisher thought he was done with his ex-wife -- but now he's solving her murder. Dallas private investigator Dylan Fisher hasn't seen his ex-wife, Rose, in three years -- which is why he's surprised when she asks him to meet her at a hotel.

Feeling uneasy, he tails the car and tries to warn Rose, but he's too late -- the driver of the car shoots her, killing her instantly, before speeding away. The police are determined to pin the murder on Dylan, so he's left with no choice but to find the killer himself. Teaming up with Rose's widower, a defense attorney named Tito, the pair dive into Rose's past to figure out who could've wanted to kill the woman they both loved -- and what they were trying to hide.

Razorblade tears / by Cosby, S. A.,author.;
"A Black father. A white father. Two murdered sons. A quest for vengeance. Ike Randolph has been out of jail for fifteen years, with not so much as a speeding ticket in all that time. But a Black man with cops at the door knows to be afraid. The last thing he expects to hear is that his son Isiah has been murdered, along with Isiah's white husband, Derek. Ike had never fully accepted his son but is devastated by his loss. Derek's father Buddy Lee was almost as ashamed of Derek for being gay as Derek was ashamed his father was a criminal. Buddy Lee still has contacts in the underworld, though, and he wants to know who killed his boy. Ike and Buddy Lee, two ex-cons with little else in common other than a criminal past and a love for their dead sons, band together in their desperate desire for revenge. In their quest to do better for their sons in death than they did in life, hardened men Ike and Buddy Lee will confront their own prejudices about their sons and each other, as they rain down vengeance upon those who hurt their boys. Provocative and fast-paced, S. A. Cosby's Razorblade Tears is a story of bloody retribution, heartfelt change - and maybe even redemption"--

Some assembly required : decoding four billion years of life, from ancient fossils to DNA / by Shubin, Neil,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The author of the best-selling Your Inner Fish, now gives us a lively and accessible account of the great transformations in the history of life, that enable us to further understand whether our presence on this planet is an accident or inevitable. The great transformations in the history of life brought about whole scale shifts in how animals live and how their bodies are organized: the evolution of fish to land-living creature, the origin of birds, the beginnings of bodies in single-celled creatures. Shubin describes how over the last half-century, scientists have been able to explore how genetic recipes build bodies during embryological development--how these inventions and adaptations occur in a nonprogressive manner in different contexts, at different speeds. Paleontology has been transformed over the last 50 years by tools and techniques of molecular biology--and it is that revolution in our understanding of the evolution of life that Shubin traces here. Each of us is a mosaic of precursors that came about at different times and places, with deep rooted connections across species that Darwin, for all he understood, could never even have imagined"--

The parade : a novel / by Eggers, Dave,author.;
"From a beloved author, a spare, powerful story of two men, Western contractors sent to work far from home, tasked with paving a road to the capital in a dangerous and largely lawless country. Four and Five are partners, working for the same company, sent without passports to a nation recovering from ten years of civil war. Together, operating under pseudonyms and anonymous to potential kidnappers, they are given a new machine, the RS-90, and tasked with building a highway that connects the country's far-flung villages with the capital. Four, nicknamed "the Clock," is one of the highway's most experienced operators, never falling short of his assigned schedule. He drives the RS-90, stopping only to sleep and eat the food provided by the company. But Five is an agent of chaos: speeding ahead on his vehicle, chatting and joking with locals, eating at nearby bars and roadside food stands, he threatens the schedule, breaks protocol, and endangers the work that they must complete in time for a planned government parade. His every action draws Four's ire, but when illness, corruption, and theft compromise their high-stakes mission, Four and Five discover danger far greater than anything they could pose to one another."--
