Fungi of Australia Volume 2B: Catalogue and Bibliography of Australian Fungi 2 is an essential reference for taxonomists working on Australian fungi, and anyone who wishes to use up-to-date names of Australian fungi. Together with its companion volume, Fungi of Australia Volume 2A, it lists all the names applied to Australian macrofungi and provides the up-to-date accepted name for each species, along with a comprehensive listing of relevant literature. Volume 2B covers larger fungi in the Basidiomycota, along with the larger Myxomycota. Groups dealt with in this volume include bracket fungi, slime moulds, puffballs, earthballs, earthstars, stinkhorns, birds nest fungi, coral fungi, jelly fungi, polypores, and stereoid, corticioid and thelephoroid fungi. This important work includes entries for more than 1,700 accepted names. For each name the catalogue lists place and date of publication, taxonomic synonyms, cross references to misidentifications and a comprehensive list of all works in which the name has been used in an Australian context. The extensive bibliography contains over 1,800 entries and includes not only taxonomic publications relevant to species described from Australia, but also publications on fungi in relation to forestry, agriculture, ecology, medicine, chemistry and general biology.

On receiving the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1990 for his third book, Transparent Gestures, Rodney Jones was hailed as "a brand-new world-class poet." This collection of poems, rich in irony, sensuousness, and pleasure, reveals his robust, humorous, earthy, and cerebral view of reality and his exploration of all regions and sensibilities of American life.

With both nickel and cobalt featuring heavily in modern industry, there is an ongoing and intense interest in ore supplies and processing, applications development, and recycling. This book presents a collection of authoritative papers covering the latest advances in all aspects of nickel and cobalt processing, including fundamentals, technology, operating practices, and related areas of Platinum-Group Metals (PGM) processing. Special emphasis is given to the treatment of sulphide and laterite ores, concentrates, and secondary materials for the production of nickel and cobalt.

"A novel in language as dense and lush and beautiful as poetry . . . [or] a book of poetry with the vivid characters and the narrative force of a novel? Whatever you care to call it, it's a remarkable achievement." -Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls Swept with quiet, dizzying drama, Village Prodigies imagines the town of Cold Springs over a period of more than fifty years. Rhyming J.M. Barrie, Herman Melville, Samuel Beckett, and Eudora Welty, Jones also takes on new questions and forms, experimenting with convention and time, the analog and the digital. Working within a multiplicity of points‑of‑view and techniques, the poems play with the spaces around invention and memory, creating portals through which we travel between moments and characters, from the interior mind to the most exterior speech, from delusions to rational thought. Village Prodigies opens with Beckett, then slips into the experience of Alzheimer's for both family and patient--examining the consciousness of dementia shot through with moments of lucidity. Then come schooldays, Vietnam, a chicken factory in Mexico, video games, cross-country trips...all weave into a crescendo of wildness and meaning in a psychotic episode. In two "books" and nine poetic "chapters" Rodney Jones aims for a novelistic wholeness and very much takes up a challenge which, he says, is "the old one, to keep the reader in suspense." Fans of Jones's previous work will find much of what they loved again here, but Village Prodigies will also bring in many new readers to his work, and to poetry.
