Place names are a window into the history and characteristics of a
country. Their names reflect the migrations of peoples, their
religious and cultural traditions, local languages, conquests and
fortifications long since disappeared. They also reflect the
topography and industrial development of a place. The text is
ordered by country alphabetically. The book will include a
historical section, putting the place name into context, and
references those events, which have had an impact on the geography
of a country, and those foreign influences, which have played a
part in shaping the place name. This volume is confined to the 38
countries of Europe, together with Andorra, Gibraltar,
Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, San Marino, Cyprus and the Vatican
City. All place names of cities and towns of particular importance
and interest are included. Detailed maps accompany the text to
illustrate change and evolution.
