Bilingual & multilingual dictionaries; Place names & gazetteers

Designed for anyone interested in the human and physical geography of the Spanish-speaking world, both modern and historical, this dictionary provides more refined and geographically-oriented definitions than general bilingual dictionaries. It contains thousands of words not included in even the best standard bilingual dictionaries. Although the content is not aimed at the specialist, it is assumed that the user has more than an elementary acquaintance with Spanish and wants more than word-for-word matches. With over 26,000 main entries and thousands more subentries, the volume includes enough material for a native English speaker versed in basic Spanish to use it almost exclusively for landscape investigations in the field, library, or archive. It is an essential tool for anyone studying the human or physical geography of the Spanish-speaking world.
