A mosaic of records, firsts and achievements, The Malta Book of Records and Firsts by Frans A. Attard is published by Uptrend Publishing, Birkirkara.

It is a high standard publication with over 300 full-colour photos, the result of years of research in the historical and present life of Malta and the Maltese. The book focuses on the many firsts, achievements and records held by the Maltese. Some of these records are (or were) world records. The book makes you feel Malta’s pulse, reveals the unknown (or just forgotten) and brings back memories of days gone by. It is not a book of statistics but a living showcase of our lifestyle and roots.

Read about the oldest man and woman in Malta, the largest meeting, temples, the largest church, various types of crossings between Malta and Sicily, the Maltese language and Maltese women.

This mine of information is grouped into 18 chapters each focusing on a particular theme, such as politics, sports, architecture, aviation, entertainment, hobbies, human achievements, weather and a lot more.

The Malta Book of Records and Firsts is an interactive book, which is expected to expand in time to include many more human achievements, which the readers are being asked to make public. The Malta Book of Records and Firsts is in full colour throughout and fully illustrated. Its size is 246mm x 190mm with 224 pages. It is available in soft and hard cover.
