We report a number of recent measurements of B-meson decays to purely hadronic final states that do not contain charm mesons. These studies are based on the very large sample of BB events collected by the BABAR detector at SLAC's e + e − asymmetric collider B-factory when it operated on the ϒ (4S). We include in this paper the results of: a Dalitz plot analysis ofwhich provides a determination of the total branching fraction and those of intermediate states; inclusive branching fraction measurements of B 0 → π + K 0 S K − and of B + → K + π 0 π 0 ; a search for B-meson decays to the axial-vector vector final state a + 1 K * 0 , and measurements of B-meson decays to η ′ ρ, η ′ f 0 and η ′ K * , where K * stands for a vector, scalar, or tensor strange meson and in which we also measure, where applicable, the charge asymmetries.
