Place Names of Canada
From Abbey, SK, to Zurich, ON, this unique dictionary includes over 6200 Canadian place names. Canada's diversity is marked not just by people but by geography; this richness is reflected in names of cities, villages, rivers, lakes, mountains, and parks. And the names reflect a range oflanguages including Cree, Inuit, French, Gaelic, Spanish, Portuguese, Mi'kmaq, and Basque. Alan Rayburn's witty and highly readable entries reveal the origins of these names-from local history to military events to bizarre geographical features.An important reference handbook, a fascinating tour guide, and a history of the local all in one, this intriguing dictionary uncovers a great deal about Canada's cultural and linguistic heritage. A book that remains as full of surprises as ever (Canada narrowly escaped being named Acadia, Borealia,or Transatlantica, for example), this new edition updates the successful first edition, including the names of newly created regions such as Nunavut. New material includes a revised preface, selected references, and new introduction.
Aboriginal Geographical Names of Canada
Native geographical names have a very special place in the toponymy of Canada. This specialized toponymic bibliography is the first of its kind in Canada to be developed from a data base covering the whole country. Of particular assistance to users are the annotations which accompany nearly all the 1240 entries. In addition to over 1000 records on Native Canadian toponymy, have also been included, for comparison purposes, some records on Native toponymy in other countries.
