A study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences last week concludes that not only is the sixth extinction real, it may be further along that we expected. And the actions of that species-both past and present-have big, long-lasting consequences. While extinctions on Earth might be old hat, this is the first threat to biodiversity caused by a single species living on the planet itself. Most scientists agree that we are now living through a sixth mass extinction, but this one isn’t caused by world-ending space rocks or lava-belching volcanoes-it’s caused by us. Everyone knows the cataclysmic, asteroid-sized drama that consigned the dinosaurs to oblivion, and 200 million years before that fiery inferno, all life on Earth was nearly ended thanks to unending volcanic eruptions. Stretched across its 4.6-billion-year history, the planet’s undergone five of them. The Earth is no stranger to mass extinctions. Despite this time lag, a concentrated, global conservation effort to reverse this trend is more pressing than ever.A new study says that there may be a time lag between when humans implement environmental actions and when these actions affect animals, meaning that effects of this mass extinction could be “locked in” up until 2050.Scientists agree that the Earth is currently undergoing the sixth mass extinction in its 4.6-billion-year history.

In the compulsively readable sequel to her widely acclaimed debut novel, You, Caroline Kepnes weaves a tale that Booklist calls “the love child of Holden Caulfield and Patrick Bateman.” “Obsessed.” -Jessica Knoll, New York Times bestselling author of Luckiest Girl Alive “Delicious and insane.The plot may be twisty and scintillating, but its Kepnes’s wit and style that keep you coming back.” -Lena Dunham “Kepnes hits the mark, cuts deep, and twists the knife.” - Entertainment Weekly THE RIVETING SEQUEL TO THE HIT BOOK YOU, NOW A NETFLIX SERIES Several of his books have been made into films, beginning with The Commitments in 1991. He is the author of eleven novels for adults, eight books for children, seven plays and screenplays, and dozens of short stories. Still, the good will garnered during the best scenes in the van more than make it a safe recommendation for adults who like a bit of Oirish mirth. Roddy Doyle (born ) is an Irish novelist, dramatist and screenwriter. Meaney dominates proceedings, not just because of his acting gusto, but because he gets to shout all the best lines! The spectre of unemployment is given an assured telling by Frears, and the impact of Ireland's football team on the community is most telling, but there is barely enough material to cover the 100 minutes running time, meaning that entering the final stretch, as the story goes serious, it begins to run out of petrol. Often raucous and very funny, with deft moments of human drama, The Van is an entertaining picture if one can get past the stereotypes. Initially it's a fulsome venture as the country is taken over mu football fervour during the 1990 World Cup finals in Italy, but it's not long before cracks begin to appear in the two friends' relationship.

McMillian was convicted after a trial that lasted only a day and a half. Walter McMillian’s ordeal is more or less accurately portrayed in Just Mercy: He was arrested in 1987 and charged with the murder of Ronda Morrison, an 18-year-old white woman who was shot in broad daylight at the Monroeville, Alabama dry-cleaning shop where she worked. The murder remains unsolved to this day, and the people who ruined McMillian’s life prospered in the aftermath. Just Mercy is structured like a standard legal thriller-secrets uncovered, wrongs righted, justice done, and so on-with one exception, which is that no one is punished in the end. The film is about inertia as much as anything: When Stevenson looks into McMillian’s case, it is immediately apparent he had nothing to do with the crime, but it still takes years to clear his name, simply because the gears of justice have started grinding. Just Mercy, director Destin Daniel Cretton’s adaptation of Bryan Stevenson’s 2014 memoir, is about the exoneration of Walter McMillian, a black man who spent nearly six years on Alabama’s death row after being convicted of a murder he didn’t commit.
