American cookery terms

I've only had my slow cooker for a couple of weeks and although there are loads of recipes on the mega thread for meat eaters, theres only a few for vegetarians so I thought I'd buy a book from Amazon, I got it from the new or used bit and it arrived today. The only problem is it's American so uses cup measurements which I don't understand and funny things like eggplant! is this aubergine? and zucchini! think this might be courgettes. Some of the recipes look really nice but as in any book theres a few dodgy looking ones. Does anyone know how to convert cups to pounds and ounces (showing my age here :D ) or metric.
