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.

The Atlas of Early Man is a captivating work of popular natural history that has served as a definitive survey of human developments for nearly two decades. This new paperback edition, the first since 1981, offers a compelling blend of history, science, and cultural study that appeals to a wide audience. Through a collection of one thousand maps, diagrams, drawings, and illustrations, it enhances our understanding of the ancient world by comparing the cultures of historical contemporaries. It places simultaneous developments in art, religion, technology, science, architecture, and government into graphic perspective. The book explores significant questions, such as what was happening in China during the construction of the Egyptian pyramids or what advancements were made in the Americas while wheeled vehicles emerged in Sumeria. Hawkes's eloquent text brings these civilizations to life, presenting them not merely as historical entities but as vibrant cultures. It invites readers to consider whether advancements occurred independently across oceans and continents or were influenced by cross-cultural exchanges. The clarity of Hawkes's analysis allows us to draw our own conclusions and clears the fog that has long obscured our view of early history.
