"I don't know if we have ever encountered a more globally and conceptually wide-ranging examination of the naming of land and sea than Gerry O'Reilly's edited volume. Place Naming, Identities, and Geography will be important for anyone coming to terms with society's ongoing "naming turn." As part of this turn, academics, activists, policy-makers, and capitalists alike increasingly realize that toponyms are deeply connected to the human social and spatial condition and lie at the center of so many political changes, heritage campaigns, and development projects. O'Reilly and his contributors abandon the comfort of a traditional uniform interpretation of place naming to amplify the many, conflicting voices and experiences flowing through namescapes--highlighting the different ways people use and map toponyms as data, regulate and standardize them as navigation systems, connect and fight over them as cultural symbols, and fashion them into neoliberal place brands. No doubt, PlaceNaming, Identities, and Geography will soon become essential reading for emerging and established scholars in toponymy while also informing geographic thought more broadly." (Derek H. Alderman, University of Tennessee, USA -- Co-Editor, The Political Life of Urban Streetscapes: Naming, Politics, and Place)

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. This book presents research on geographical naming on land and sea from a wide range of standpoints on: theory and concepts, case studies and education. Space and place naming or toponymy has a long tradition in the sciences and a renewed critical interest in geography and allied disciplines including the humanities. Place: location and cartographical aspects, etymology and geo-histories so salient in past studies, are now being enhanced from a range of radical perspectives, especially in a globalizing, standardizing world with Googlization and the consequent normalization of place names, perceptions and images worldwide including those for marketing purposes. Nonetheless, there are conflicting and contesting voices. The interdisciplinary research is enhanced with authors from regional, national and international toponymy-related institutions and organizations including the UNGEGN, IGU, ICA and so forth.
