About this title

From Library Journal:

This work will be most immediately compared, not entirely unfavorably, with two other recent dictionaries: Susan Mayhew's 1997 publication of the same title (Oxford Univ.) and Audrey Clark's Penguin Dictionary of Geography (1998). The current volume is the most expensive of the bunch. Its definitions tend to run about the same in length as in Mayhew'sAbut not always: "cartography," for example, gets a one-line definition in Skinner's work but 11 lines in Mayhew's. And overall, Skinner has chosen fewer words to define. But his typeface is larger and thus easier to read; and the accompanying illustrations are clear and easy to understand. For general readers and undergraduates.AMary Lynette Larsgaard, Univ. of California, Santa Barbara
