    2008 – 244 pp. (Full Colour)         This book stems from our desire to help students see biology the way we do, and is thus designed to provide students with a resource that will make the study of biology easier and more enjoyable. It provides sufficient detail to meet the needs of the intermediate MATSEC syllabus, without making it too voluminous and complicated. We have tried to make the content clear and well-organised to help students with their studies, and to enhance their understanding of the subject.

  • Dan il-ktieb, Bl-Għasluġ tal-Ħsieb – Dun Karm, La Jixjieħ u la Jmut, huwa mixja analitika ta’ ġieħ għax juri l-kisbiet kbar kreattivi u intellettwali tal-Poeta Nazzjonali, Dun Karm (1871-1961). Dak li jippreżenta dan il-ktieb huma suġġerimenti ta’ kif il-poeżija Dunkarmjana tista’ taħdem fuqna. Dawn is-suġġerimenti mhumiex esklużivi, imma jistgħu jiġu ċċalinġjati jew jinbidlu; u forsi wkoll wieħed jista’ jibni fuqhom. Jingħata nebħ ta’ kif wieħed jista’ jikkonċettwalizza għala nistgħu nsibu l-poeżija ta’ Dun Karm siewja għalina llum. Minn dak li qed jiġi ppreżentat, il-qarrejja għandhom jintebħu li l-qari u r-riċerka (li kull qarja titlob minnhom) huma alleati ta’ xulxin. Aktar ma wieħed isir jaf kif taħdem il-poeżija ta’ Dun Karm, aktar wieħed jinfetaħ għall-effetti li jista’ jkollha. B’qari rriċerkat, il-poeżija ta’ Dun Karm tistagħna u l-qarrejja jkunu aktar involuti fiha. Il-qari analitiku juri li l-letteratura ta’ Dun Karm tinqeda bl-użu ta’ lingwa, xbihat, u ideat li huma mirqumin u xirqin. Il-poeżiji ta’ Dun Karm jinħassu li huma maħdumin bl-akbar sengħa, u bosta minnhom iwassluna għall-introspezzjoni għax iġagħluna naħsbu fuq il-ħajja b’mod differenti mis-soltu. Anki meta Dun Karm jibni poeżija fuq xi tensjoni, fiha naqraw ħjiel tal-kumplessità tat-tiġrib uman. Għalhekk il-ġabriet tal-poeżiji tiegħu narawhom bħala għerf akkumulat

    The essays offered in this book explore some of the significant Romantic and post-Romantic constructions of Italy, its culture and history, beginning with Madame de Stael's seminal Corinne, ou l'Italie (1807), which would prove influential in the aesthetic imagery shaping and surrounding subsequent literary works about Italy. The Italian landscape and cultural scene invited both description and re-inscription by some of the prominent British writers of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, who were responding to the fascination exerted upon them by Italian culture generally. The chapters in this book consider the rich texture of this scene of literary and cultural influence, focusing on the perception, representation and appropriation of Italy by some major British writers of the period indicated, among them Lord Byron, Lady Morgan, Percy Shelley, John Keats, George Eliot, John Ruskin, E.M. Forster, D.H. Lawrence and W.B. Yeats.

  • Edited by Vicki Ann Cremona Capitalising on Culture? Malta and the European Capital of Culture is a collection of papers that interrogate the state of culture in the Mediterranean Island of Malta, which in 2018 will also be the designated European Capital of Culture. This volume critically examines the scope and function of culture. Authors in this volume explore culture both in terms of the physical spaces in the island as well as culture in terms of the lived fabric of social life. As such the papers explore the state and significance of culture in terms of well-being social participation, community-formation and inclusivity. The authors address the potential of the European Capital of Culture, and the resources attached it, to leave a lasting legacy that can foster the growth of culture in a local context.

  • This is the first literal translation of Stumme’s collection of 37 folktales from Malta and Gozo which were narrated to him mostly by illiterate peasants and which he recorded in phonetic script in 1903 when he visited Malta.  They are an invaluable contribution to the heritage of the Maltese islands.
