Neckiks guard the Urals. Traveling to Toponymy. Matveev A.

For many years, the author of this book collected and studied toponyms - geographical names - the Urals. In his file cabinet - thousands of names of rivers, mountains, settlements, tracts. But this book is not a reference book, not a dictionary, so do not hope to find answers to all your questions about the origin of geographical names on its pages. This would require more than one voluminous volume.

The author had a completely different goal - it is popular to tell about some geographical names of the Urals and exciting science - toponomastics.
