People of the Maldive Islands
by Dr Clarence Maloney

Dr Maloney, an anthropologist, has written the best general reference on the history of the country, but it is not readily available, even in the Maldives.

The Maldive Islands: Monograph on the History, Archaeology & Epigraphy
by H C P Bell

One for history buffs, with Bell attempting to explain the tangible, although insubstantial, remains of early civilisations.

Maldives, the Diver's Paradise
by Dr Charles Anderson

One of several pictorials by marine biologist Anderson, guaranteed to whet your appetite before heading for the depths.

Dive Maldives
by Tim Godfrey

Describes all of the established dive sites in detail; it's a good investment and souvenir.
