   At this point it's all a big blur in my head about taxonomies... I have a issue and I have googled it for about 5 hours now and no luck...

   it's simple.

   I have a page that display all posts under a post_type's taxonomy

   post_type = book
   taxonomies for book = non-fiction, romance...

   my url looks like:

   http://www.domain.com/book/romance/

   The url above will show all "romance" books

   All I want to do is get the word "romance". So I can right something like... "Books Posted Under Romance".

   How do I do that? How do I get the taxonomy term name of the page i'm in?

   Try get_term_by('id', $post->ID, 'taxonomy_name')

   $wp_query->query_vars['taxonomy_name'];

   I used the following:
   

   global $post;
   $terms = get_the_terms($post->id, 'TAXONOMY_NAME');

   print_r reads:

   Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [term_id] => 4 [name] => Smyth [slug] => smyth [term_group] => 0 [term_taxonomy_id] => 4 [taxonomy] => contestants [description] => [parent] => 0 [count] => 4 ) )

   You can then use any of the following:
   

   $terms[0]->term_id;
   $terms[0]->name;
   $terms[0]->slug;
   $terms[0]->term_group;
   $terms[0]->term_taxonomy_id;
   $terms[0]->taxonomy;
   $terms[0]->description;
   $terms[0]->parent;
   $terms[0]->count;

   For information on get_the_terms: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_terms

   I came up with this after inspecting the $wp_query object:

   $term =	$wp_query->queried_object;
   echo '<h1>'.$term->name.'</h1>';

   And it works great for me.

   Hope it helps somebody.

   Happy to help guys!
   You can combine it into one-liner of course:
   echo $wp_query->queried_object->name;

    ... or use a native WordPress function:
    echo get_queried_object()->name;
    :)

    So this displays the taxonomy type on a taxonomy type page but what about displaying the taxonomy type of a post when viewing it in isolation?

    @Dan I'm not sure I understood your Q but take a look at following functions and their respective examples and let me know if you need to know more.

    wp_get_object_terms - Retrieves the terms associated with the given object(s), in the supplied taxonomies.

    get_object_taxonomies - Returns all of the taxonomy names of a defined object type
