The available reports on the medicinal use of Fijian plants are brought together in a comprehensive, up-to-date compilation, presented in a readable form. The introduction covers a range of topics: the origin and dispersal of plants; literature in the field; use of medicinal plants within traditional Fijian culture; diseases of Fiji; and medicinal chemicals from plants. Other chapters describe 450 plant species; each entry is arranged by plant family, and gives current botanical name, Fijian/local name, brief botanical notes, medicinal uses and chemistry. The book includes an index to plant species, an index of Fijian names and a glossary of medical and botanical terms. Of interest to botanists and pharmacologists, however, "everyday" terms are used as much as possible. This book may assist scientists in further investigations and point the way to plants from which new and effective cures may be obtained.

Insect pests are largely controlled by toxic chemical pesticides which cause environmental, health and resistance problems. Consequently, alternative methods of control are being sought and adopted. Insect parasitic and insect killing nematodes provide some of the most promising new alternatives to chemical insecticides. They can be used to control a wide range of insects, are no-polluting, non-toxic and are environmentally friendly in many other ways. They are compatible with other biological and chemical agents and have the distinct advantage over most other forms of insect pest control of being able to seek out pests in cryptic habitats such as tree borers or insects living deep within the soil. Commercialisation of nematodes has generated considerable interest and has resulted in increased research and publication on these important biological control agents. This book, written by foremost experts from around the world, provides insights into the latest developments in this exciting new discipline and into the prospects of the future.

Intended for biologists with an interest in Africa and African butterflies, this book serves as a comprehensive catalogue to the entire butterfly fauna of the Afrotropical region. It covers 3593 species in 300 genera - about 20% of the world butterfly fauna; and contains all genus-group, species-group and infrasubspecific names applied to the Afrotropical butterfly fauna, a total of about 14,000 names. Bibliographic reference provided for all genus, species and infrasubspecific names, as are the type species designation for all genus-group names. The sequence of families, subfamilies, tribes and genera reflects current knowledge of classification. Information of distribution, habitats and known larval hostplants provided for all species. A comprehensive introduction includes sections on general behaviour, biogeography and early stage biology, together with a gazetteer and list of regional works. Features include: 300 photographs which illustrate one representative species for each genus; and a comprehensive cbibliography. The text is fully indexed.
