Description
Do you still find yourself referring to Zaire or Czechoslovakia, or wondering whether it should be Moldavia or Moldova, Burma or Myanmar? Dozens of countries, cities and counties have changed their identity over the years – even within our lifetime.
Alexander McCall Smith "In this marvellous and intriguing book, Harry Campbell has created a whole new discipline - one which we may perhaps call nostalgic geography"
Harry Campbell is a freelance lexicographer, who used to work for Larousse and Harper Collins. He describes himself as an 'armchair traveller and avid collector of maps'. Harry lives in Glasgow.
