This new type of geographical dictionary lists past and present
alternate names of more than 7,000 places. It focuses particularly
on placenames with official or semiofficial status rather than
nicknames or colloquial abbreviations. Alternate placenames are
important for historical and geographical reasons, and although
they predominate in countries that have undergone wars and
invasions, such alternate names can equally result from political
or administrative changes. In addition to the factual data related
to each entry, the dictionary also comments on names and their
origins where appropriate. Appendices focus on placenames in
non-English languages and on places which have been renamed in
fictional works.
