Malta presents a very lucid view of a beautiful, appealing, culturally rich, and strategically important island country that has endured against the odds — or perhaps because of them. Readers will find in Malta a land upon which the hand of man has brought about extensive alteration and, as a consequence, has created an unusually intense cultural landscape undergoing significant transformation as the "island fortress of the Mediterranean" adapts to the demands and opportunities of the modern world.
Dr. Roger Balm, an affiliate of Rutgers University, is a recognized authority on the geography ofMalta.
