Celtic voices, English places : studies of the Celtic impact on place-names in England by Richard Coates
(with a contribution by David Horovitz) Extraordinary collection of papers which together forms a comprehensive study of the theory that there are more Celtic elements in English place-names than has previously been supposed. A serious, substantial book with many maps, full gazetteer of examples and index.
A pioneering and comprehensive study of the origins of the names of the islands which make up the Channel Islands. Over 200 names are discussed and their linguistic history is analysed from ancient to modern times. Printed on long-life paper with an attractive two-colour paperback cover. A small number are also available in red cloth hardback.
