David Mills: A Dictionary of British Place-Names

A Dictionary of British Place-Names


Description

This revised edition of the Dictionary of British Place-Names includes over 17,000 engaging and informative entries, tracing the development of the featured place-names from earliest times to the present day. Included place-names range from the familiar to the obscure, among them 'Beer', 'Findlater', 'Broadbottom', and 'Great Snoring'. The A to Z entries are complemented by a detailed introductory essay discussing the chronology and development of English, Irish, Welsh, and Scottish place-names, as well as an extensive bibliography, maps of Britain showing old and new boundaries, and a glossary of common elements in place-names. Also new to this edition is an appendix of recommended web links pointing to relevant online resources, thereby expanding the scope of the dictionary and providing the reader with an opportunity to explore the subject further. Both accessible and up to date, this dictionary is an ideal companion for anybody travelling around the British Isles, as well as for researchers and students with an interest in toponomy, local history, cartography, and lexicography.

  Whether it's a quiet pint of ale in a well-heeled watering hole or Jager bombs at 2 a.m., one thing always follows another: hunger. All too often we cave in to the booze munchies and settle for kerbside cheesy chips or a dreadful doner kebab. There is another way. A better way. Unlike driving, texting and neurosurgery, cooking can be improved by a drinking session. This book offers delicious recipes tailored to your level of tipsiness and perfect for soaking up the worst of it. Spicy Thai-style pork burgers, a quick couscous chicken biryani or authentic smoky burritos can be delectable and, more importantly, achievable with The Druken Cookbook in hand.
