A geographical dictionary that lists past and present alternate names of more than 7,000 places. It focuses on placenames with official or semiofficial status rather than nicknames or colloquial abbreviations. It also includes Appendices that focus on placenames in non-English languages and on places which have been renamed in fictional works.
