Reviews
YA?Short, easy-to-read, alphabetical entries cite sources and meanings of the proper nouns used to identify places, first and last names, literary characters, music, holidays, modern musical groups, astronomy, sports teams, mythological places and people, etc. Although there is no guide to pronunciation, this is an ideal source for quick introductory research or a fun browsing item for students interested in learning about their own names.
