Includes:: a comprehensive index of derivations. Etymology is the study of the origin & history of words. For the first time, the ‘ Atlas of True Names’ uses etymology to give us an unusual insight into familiar geographical names
- with intriguing results...... Many geographical names are clearly rooted in Man’s observation of his natural environment; the physical location of a settlement: “ At the Foot of the Mountain”
- Piedmont, the character of an important water course: “ The Gentle One”
- The Seine or even just the local vegetation: “ Under the Oaks”
- Potsdam. Unsurprisingly, countries & landscapes often derive their names from the characteristics of the people who lived there: “ Great Land of the Tattooed”
- Great Britain, whilst local mythology & regional rulers also frequently leave their legacy: “ Isle of the Monster’s Eye”
- Peleponnese or “ Illustrious Emperor”
- Zaragoza. The ‘ Atlas of True Names’ restores an element of enchantment to the world we all think we know so well. It takes the reader on a journey into the unknown
- a unique exploration of uncharted territory in that familiar place we all know as ‘home’. Take a look at the world through fresh eyes!
