AMAZINGNESS IN BOOK FORM
This is an amazing book, both informative and well written. It is nicely formatted and extremely easily read. Though the book is not very long, I felt that I had a learned a lot from it. I actually had no previous interest in Malta what so ever, but now I admit, genuinely, that I have a desire to pursue and learn more about the small island archipelago. The Author is a truly amazing man and Rutgers University is greatly privileged to have his tenure. ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Malta," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Malta in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Malta when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Malta, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more
