Jan Mayen is a volcanic island surrounded by the deep Greenland, Iceland and Norwegian Seas. There, atmospheric and oceanic processes unleash potential energy that forces very dynamic interactions between sea and air. This unique geophysical focal point generates climatic variability in northern Europe, and supports marine biological production that sustains the yield of large living resources. The marine populations are clearly fluctuating with variations in climate, and raises questions about effects of man-made climate change. Since the last Ice Age the sinking of Greenland Sea Deep-Water has been a substantial driving force for the Global Thermo-Haline Circulation which feeds warm Atlantic water into the Nordic Seas. Global warming may interact with the deep-water formation and force feedback mechanisms that express themselves beyond imagination. The book addresses such problems to raise an interest for doing research on the island and in its waters. The potentials for doing that increases when the island's Loran-C station closes down in 2005. The book recommends how the international scientific community may gain access to this really challenging arena for local, regional and Global research. It is a blueprint for the logistics required for science to succeed in a very remote and physically demanding place on Earth.

Svalbard and Jan Mayen are two remote archipelagos located in the Arctic Ocean, administered by Norway. Svalbard is the larger of the two and is home to around 2,500 residents, mostly in the main settlement of Longyearbyen. Despite its harsh climate and isolation, the archipelago is known for its stunning natural beauty and unique wildlife, including polar bears, reindeer, and a wide range of bird species. Svalbard is also an important center for Arctic research, with numerous research stations and institutes studying topics such as climate change, geology, and biology. Jan Mayen, on the other hand, is an uninhabited volcanic island located farther to the northeast. Roughly 7,000 tourists visit the island annually, mostly for its rugged landscapes and opportunities for adventure sports such as hiking and kayaking. The island is also home to a weather station and a small military presence, as it serves as an important part of Norway's territorial claim in the Arctic. Despite its isolation and challenging conditions, Svalbard and Jan Mayen remain important symbols of Norway's northern heritage and an ongoing subject of scientific and cultural fascination.

Every populated place, however small, has a name, and every name is chosen for a reason. This fascinating dictionary gives the history, meanings, and origin of an enormous range of country, region, island, city, and town names from across the world, as well as the name in the local language. It also includes key historical facts associated with many place names. Place-names are continually changing. New names are adopted for many different reasons such as invasion, revolution, and decolonization. This dictionary 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. All this fascinating detail is included in the Concise Dictionary of World 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. Containing over 10,000 names, from Aachen to Zyrardów, this is a unique and fascinating guide for geographers, travellers, and all with an interest in current world affairs.
