Exploring the concept of naming as a spatial and visual tool, this book bridges traditional and critical approaches to toponymy. It delves into the political implications of place naming and its impact on livelihood systems, while also expanding the discussion to include names applied to people, objects, and ideas. Offering a comprehensive "naming toolbox," it draws on diverse examples from Canada, the Middle East, the UK, and indigenous communities, making it essential for scholars in geography, cartography, anthropology, and cultural studies.
