Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work for the series Placenames of the Isle of Man is undertaken under the auspices of the Manx Place-Name Survey, set up at the University of Mannheim in 1988. The survey falls into two parts: material collected from a) oral, and b) documentary sources. Placename material, mostly Manx Gaelic, for the first part, was collected on sound-recordings or in phonetic script 1989-1992 from some 200 informants, almost exclusively from the farming community. The second part contains material drawn from documentary sources of 13th-20th century date, but mostly from 17th-19th centuries. The whole is to appear in seven volumes, the first six based on each of the six Sheadings (districts) as follows: Vol. 1 - Sheading of Glenfaba, Vol. 2 - Sheading of Michael, Vol. 3 - Sheading of Ayre, Vol. 4 - Sheading of Garff, Vol. 5 - Sheading of Middle, Vol. 6 - Sheading of Rushen, Vol. 7 - Douglas. The last volume also contains a detailed linguistic discussion of the corpus, a full and comprehensive index, as well as a series of element distribution maps and maps of the 17 parishes showing the traditional land divisions upon which the names are based.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Celtic Places’ are typified by some several hundred townships and villages whose names still bear the imprint of their earliest Celtic roots, but the scope of the book is not restricted to human settlements; it is also true of the many mountains and rivers that they named, and to several thousand sites of standing stone monuments, Celtic high crosses, henges, hill figures, funeral barrows and hillforts, which are all included in the book. What they all have in common is that they reflect the rich cultural heritage that was implicit in the names of places in the British Isles and Ireland as it existed before the Romans arrived.

The economy of the Isle of Man is largely based on offshore finance, with many international businesses choosing to establish a presence on the island due to its favorable tax laws and business-friendly environment. The Isle of Man is also known for its stunning natural beauty, with rugged coastline, rolling hills, and sandy beaches. It has a temperate climate, with mild winters and cool summers, making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The island is popular for activities such as hiking, cycling, and water sports, and it also hosts a range of annual events and festivals that attract visitors from around the world. Despite its small size, the Isle of Man has a unique identity and a thriving community, and it offers a wealth of opportunities for those looking to explore or make a home on the island.
