Peter Kent's Big Book of Armor: From Armadillos to Armored Cars

64 pp. | Kingfisher/Macmillan | August, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7534-6423-6 $16.99
(4) 4-6 This volume tracks the development and uses of armor in its many forms. The main focus is military applications, but civilian and athletic uses and some examples from the animal kingdom are also covered. The text provides useful information, but the layout can be confusing and some of the many spot illustrations are unfinished-looking.
