- How to be human / by Cocozza, Paula,author.;
"One hot summer's night, Mary comes home from a midnight ramble to find her neighbours' baby Flora lying on her back doorstep, desperately vulnerable on the concrete in her little white sleep suit. Has Mary, in her confusion and misery, stolen the baby from next door? Has Michelle, the baby's mother, left her there in her acute state of post-natal depression? Or was she brought to Mary as a gift by the fox who is increasingly coming to dominate her life? Off work with an undisclosed illness and intimidated by the presence of her ex-boyfriend, Mark, who has moved out but is never far away, Mary becomes progressively obsessed with the magnificent fox who is always in her garden--even as her relationship with her neighbours deteriorates and she becomes more and more isolated. First she sees him wink at her; then he brings her presents and shares her garden rug; and finally she invites him into her house. As the boundaries between the domestic and the wild blur, and the neighbours set out to exterminate the fox, it is unclear if Mary will save the fox, or the fox save Mary ..."--- Subjects: Domestic fiction.; Women; Foxes; Neighbors; Marriage;

Shot in stunning 5K ultra high-definition video and full of soaring aerial perspectives, this film shows water as a terraforming element, as well as the magnitude of our need and use. In Watermark, the viewer is immersed in a magnificent force of nature that we all too often take for granted-until it's gone.Canadian Home Video Rating: G.DVD.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Human beings.; Water.;

- Ancient bones : unearthing the astonishing new story of how we became human / by Böhme, Madelaine,1967-author.; Begun, David R.,writer of foreword.; Billinghurst, Jane,1958-translator.; Braun, Rüdiger,1966-author.; Breier, Florian,author.; translation of:Böhme, Madelaine,1967-Wie wir Menschen wurden.English.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 295-321) and index.A thrilling new account of human origins, as told by the paleontologist who led the most groundbreaking dig in recent history.-- Somewhere west of Munich, Madelaine Böhme and her colleagues dig for clues to the origins of humankind. What they discover is beyond anything they imagined: the fossilized bones of Danuvius guggenmosi ignite a global media frenzy. This ancient ancestor defies our knowledge of human history--his nearly twelve-million-year-old bones were not located in Africa--the so-called birthplace of humanity--but in Europe, and his features suggest we evolved much differently than scientists once believed.In prose that reads like a gripping detective novel, Ancient Bones interweaves the story of the dig that changed everything with the fascinating answer to a previously undecided and now pressing question: How, exactly, did we become human? Placing Böhme's discovery alongside former theories of human evolution, the authors show how this remarkable find (and others in Eurasia) are forcing us to rethink the story we've been told about how we came to be, a story that has been our guiding narrative--until now.- Subjects: Evolution (Biology); Human beings.; Human evolution.; Paleoanthropology;
