They also reflect the topography and industrial development of a place. The text is ordered by country alphabetically. The book will include a historical section, putting the place name into context, and references those events, which have had an impact on the geography of a country, and those foreign influences, which have played a part in shaping the place name.

All place names of cities and towns of particular importance and interest are included. Detailed maps accompany the text to illustrate change and evolution.
