English2American language Translation Guide (English to American Dictionary)
Description: UK to American English language translation dictionary (like Lorry = Truck)
The author, Chris Rae, has tried to turn it into a sort of “guide to
British culture” and as such it contains a few chapters of meandering
nonsense about driving, shopping, drinking and other important aspects
of UK life. He gave it a new name, “The Septic’s Companion” to match
the book. (The web page will continue to exist with the name it
currently has, just to confuse people.)

Fishbase - The Scientific Database about Fish
Description: FishBase is a comprehensive database of information about fish. As of April 2006, it included descriptions of over 29,300 species, over 216,800 common names in hundreds of languages, over 41,300 pictures, and references to over 37,900 works in the scientific literature.
As awareness of FishBase has grown among fish specialists, it has attracted several hundred contributors and collaborators. In order to preserve its value as a scientific database, FishBase is not allowed to include original data; all of its content must be based on previously-published material.
