Though David Galef may be best known for his novels Flesh and Turning Japanese, he has also published over sixty short stories in magazines ranging from the British Punch to the Czech Prague Revue, the Canadian Prism International, and the American Shenandoah. The fifteen stories selected for Laugh Track are an eclectic mix, ranging from a haunting vignette called "You, " about the day the narrator was conceived, to "Triptych, " the tale of an elementary school teacher whose men in her life include a precocious third-grader. In the title story, a failed comedian brings a recorded laugh track to his regular Wednesday psychoanalytic session. During the sometimes tortuous, often hilarious course of treatment, he finally succeeds in displacing his blocked impulses -- to the extreme discomfort of his therapist. In "All Cretans, " a lovelorn tourist in Greece gets ensnared in a set of ancient philosophical paradoxes. In "The Web of Mobius, " what's left of a once-murderous psychotic's life revolves in a bizarrely twisted circle. Laugh Track offers fifteen different worlds -- from a blocked expatriate writer in Mexico, to a drug heist gone wrong in downtown Manhattan, to a love affair pursued at the last leper colony in the United States. These are stories that flirt with the veil of fantasy and yet in the end reveal the all-too-vulnerable side of humanity. Like so many people, Galef's characters are searching for something in life that will solve everything -- but the results are unpredictable, to say the least.

Why do living things and physical phenomena take the form they do? D'Arcy Thompson's classic On Growth and Form looks at the way things grow and the shapes they take. Analysing biological processes in their mathematical and physical aspects, this historic work, first published in 1917, has also become renowned for the sheer poetry of its descriptions. A great scientist sensitive to the fascinations and beauty of the natural world tells of jumping fleas and slipper limpets; of buds and seeds; of bees' cells and rain drops; of the potter's thumb and the spider's web; of a film of soap and a bubble of oil; of a splash of a pebble in a pond. D'Arcy Thompson's writing, hailed as 'good literature as well as good science; a discourse on science as though it were a humanity', is now made available for a wider readership, with a foreword by one of today's great populisers of science, explaining the importance of the work for a new generation of readers.
