The Chamorro-English Dictionary provides an alphabetical listing of as many Chamorro words as could be collected, spelled according to the principles adopted by the Marianas Orthography Committee in February 1971. Each word is given a fairly comprehensive definition in English, and, in many cases, sample sentences have been included to illustrate usages in context. Cross-references are provided among Chamorro words that are semantically related. An English-Chamorro finder list, based on selected words in the English definitions, is also provided.

The Dark Lord has landed his intergalactic ship deep in the heart of the Sahara desert in preparation for his Skeleroff invasion of the unsuspecting and unprepared planet Earth. His ship carries the weapons and personnel he'll need for the invasion—and a cargo of alien prisoners who escape in an ejection capsule during the landing. Landing in the mountains only two kilometres from Powell Street, it's no wonder the escaped aliens found their way to eighteen-year-old Winfred Cowell's home—though too late. By the time Margaret Parof, one of the alien escapees, reaches Winfred, the boy has already been found. With Margaret's help, Winfred barely escapes with his life, but not before taking the Mocrax, the Skelleroff's most prized treasure. Now, with all the power of the Dark Lord in pursuit, there's no place on Earth to hide. Margaret must take Winfred to Portable Accommodation, her home. There Winfred must learn the extraordinary techniques he will need in order to defeat the Dark Lord. The fate of the world depends on it.

Rare, unique and irreplaceable – precious native rainforests occupy a precariously small part of Australia while retaining a remarkable level of both biological and chemical diversity unrivalled by any other ecosystem. Australia's ancient history and traditions are intimately intertwined with the rainforest plants that humans have utilised as both food and medicine. Phytochemistry of Australia's Tropical Rainforest is a record of this history and details how our understanding of these plants has led to the discovery of anaesthetics, analgesics, steroids, antimalarials and more. It provides an insight into the habitat, ecology and family associations of hundreds of species and explores their future therapeutic potential, alongside phytochemical studies of the ancient plant lineages. Toxicological evaluations of important poisonous plants are also included. Rainforests provide shelter for unique flora and fauna that are counted among the rarest species on Earth, many of which are illustrated in this book. This comprehensive work is an essential reference for phytochemists, ethnobotanists and those with an interest in rainforests and their medicinal and botanical potential.
