METAMORPHOSIS<br />
METAMORPHOSIS<br />
Shows the "dissolution" of the larval body<br />
using time-lapse photography. The<br />
transition from the bilateral symmetry of<br />
the pluteus to the star-shaped radial<br />
symmetry is explained in an animated<br />
sequence. The metamorphosis is induced<br />
by the addition of cesium chloride.<br />

(HALOCYNTH<br />
(HALOCYNTHIA (HALOCYNTH IA RORETZI)<br />
Covers the ascidian's life cycle and<br />
structure, and uses microphotography,<br />
time-lapse photography, and diagrams to<br />
document in detail the organism from<br />
fertilization to the larval stage, and then<br />
through metamorphosis to the young adult<br />
stage. Makes the point that ascidians, or<br />
sea squirts, are of particular interest to<br />
biologists because, from a phylo-genetic<br />
point of view, they represent a group<br />
between the vertebrates and the<br />
invertebrates.<br />

Examines the mineralogy, petrology, and<br />
geologic development of southern Africa's<br />
Bushveld Igneous Complex, the world's<br />
largest and best-preserved layered<br />
intrusion. Beginning with the filling of the<br />
Transvaal Basin and the extrusion of the<br />
Rooiberg Felsite, the film demonstrates<br />
the emplacement of the main igneous<br />
bodies, the development of the<br />
metamorphic aureole, and the formation of<br />
deposits of chromite, platinum, and other<br />
minerals.<br />

NATURAL NATURAL HISTORY HISTORY HISTORY OF<br />
OF<br />
LAUGHTER, LAUGHTER, A<br />
A<br />
By Jacques Mitsch<br />
For how long have we been laughing? Are<br />
human beings the only ones to laugh? In<br />
the past, scientists tended to neglect such<br />
questions of laughter, leaving them to the<br />
philosophers. Jacques Mitsch's A<br />
NATURAL HISTORY OF LAUGHTER<br />
explores recent scientific attempts to<br />
explicate this most elusive of human<br />
faculties, undertaken by scientists who<br />
see it as a means of approaching some of<br />
the larger mysteries of neurology and<br />
human behavior.<br />
