Malta: Prehistory and Temples
The large stone temple structures on Malta are amongst the earliest such constructions in the world, long before the pyramids were built in Egypt. This super book forms a pictorial record of all the temples on Malta, whilst also providing background information on the social and cultural history of the period. Built between c.3500 and 2500 BC, the temples reflect, and were part of, a period of great development on Malta and Gozo, especially in artistic and architectural terms. This is a clear, well illustrated account of the temple-building period, as well as of what went before and what came after.

It's not easy to write something meant to work as both a detailed study of archaeological remains and a tourist guide - but this one does it (the high rate of success is probably due to a ration of 90-10 between the two). This is a book meant for people really interested in the subject, and it does not disappoint.
