Some names are indicative of their origins, meaning and historical context. Others remain a mystery. They all have a message.”
Description
We have words to describe the world: its landscapes, cities and villages. But where do these words come from? What does the name “Venice” mean? Quebec geographer Henri Dorion takes readers on a world tour of place names, from the Gaspé Peninsula to Ukraine and Belgium and everywhere in between!
Learn about the curious places that boast of producing the planet’s best sundaes, plums or paprika. There is even a rain and melancholy capital of the world— and a city that devours poets!
