The Atlas of True Names, which produces etymological maps, each place marked with the original meaning of the name. I have the British Isles blu-tacked to the wall above my lavatory, so I can relive history as I relieve myself.

BBC article on it, although I'm not sure about their version of
Yucatan.
Is it actually true that 'Britain' means 'land of the tattooed ones'?
