An essential reference source! Part I indexes words, terms, and phrases concerned with places and locations both real and imaginary. Entries on imaginary places are not only geographical (Chelm, Lilliput) but also embrace more nebulous places found in everyday speech (Cloud-Cuckooland, Never-Never Land). Part II provides a list of countries with their capitals and other important centers, political divisions, and more esoteric information such as their internet domain suffixes. It also tabulates stars, planets & moons, and gives comparative information such as the lengths of the world's rivers, and the heights of its mountains. 320p.
