Summary

Richard Morris's 'The Etymology of Local Names' is a comprehensive study that delves into the origins and meanings of place names around the world. Morris showcases his meticulous research and linguistic expertise in uncovering the fascinating stories behind how cities, towns, and geographical features got their names. With a mix of informative narrative and analytical breakdowns, this book provides a deep insight into the evolution of local nomenclature, making it a valuable resource for linguists, historians, and geography enthusiasts. Morris seamlessly weaves together etymological analysis with cultural and historical context, offering readers a rich tapestry of knowledge to explore. Richard Morris, a renowned linguist and onomastician, draws upon his years of experience in studying language and naming conventions to shed light on the intricate web of meanings that lie beneath the surface of seemingly ordinary place names. His passion for understanding the importance of names and their connection to identity shines through in this meticulously researched work. I highly recommend 'The Etymology of Local Names' to anyone interested in the fascinating world of onomastics and the cultural heritage embedded in our everyday surroundings.

    This book is made for people who love to learn from stories. Each chapter is a small study case of about 2000 words that will tell the story of a company or a person who did thrive in the world of business and marketing to make his mark in the world. Those stories may inspire you and will give you insights into business and marketing concepts that you may learn in business or marketing courses. 
  
Also to learn in such a way, by reading stories like this, is very entertaining and pleasurable, you may even read this book just for entertaining purposes and by the end of the book, you did learn a lot of concepts without even noticing it, while enhancing your knowledge about famous brands, companies, and people. 
If you were learning the English language, a good exercise is to read in English every day and test your reading comprehension. Every chapter is designed to be a small chunk of information that can be digested very easily while learning concepts and words that can be tested by the questionary at the end of every chapter (with the answer by the end of the book). 
  
If you were teaching marking this can be a very good source of cases that can be discussed in class with your students, fostering learning and interesting conversations about the topic at hand 
  
Some people just like good reading to pass their time, and this book can be it, and because some of the cases are the story of a life time of person or company, some folks will like to read or listen many times over (disponible in Audible too).
