A Dictionary of Place-Names. By C. Blackic. 3rd Edition. revised. - There can be no doubt that this book will facilitate the rational teaching of geography in the upper forms of schools; and will prove interesting to many thoughtful travelers. Prof. John Stuart Blackie contributes an introduction in which he copiously illustrates the advantages arising from an intelligent acquaintance with the nomenclature of topography, and draws out much of the information concealed in the place-names of Celtic Scotland. It would be difficult to find a. sponsor with more enthusiasm than Mr. Blackie; and those who read his essay are likely to make a point of consulting this volume for the elucidation of geographical names. We can promise them that, with the exception of a few names at present insoluble, they will not be disappointed. - The Education Outlook, Vol. 41

Randall is a former CIA analyst who was executive secretary of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names for some 20 years. His study of place names describes how the names of things influence the way people view the world around them. He also shows how place names have entered popular culture and how the lack of permanent place names has caused problems for military and government bodies. A short chapter on unusual and unacceptable names provides especially rich reading for followers of the trivial, quirky, and strange. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.

There is no populated place without a name, and every name is chosen for a reason. This fascinating dictionary unveils the etymological roots and history of thousands of locations and landmarks from around the world. It contains over 11,000 entries, and covers an enormous range of country, region, island, city, town, mountain and river names from across the world, as well as the name in the local language. Place names are continually changing, and new names are adopted for many different reasons such as invasion, revolution, and decolonization. The Concise Dictionary of World Place-Names includes selected former names, and, where appropriate, some historical detail to explain the transition. The names of places often offer a real insight into the places themselves, revealing religious and cultural traditions, the migration of peoples, the ebb and flow of armies, the presence of explorers, local languages, industrial developments and topography. Superstition and legend can also play a part. This new edition has been updated to include over 750 new names, including Azincourt, Kropyvnyts'kyy , and Tlaxcala. It has also been edited to reflect socio-political and geographical shifts, notably the reorganisation of the French regions, and their consequent name alterations, as well as the decommunization of Ukrainian place-names. In addition to the entries themselves, the dictionary includes two appendices: a glossary of foreign word elements which appear in place-names and their meanings, and a list of personalities and leaders from all over the world who have influenced the naming of places.
