This 10 x 12 volume is an excellent introduction to the world of military uniforms and gear. The graphics are excellent, each page featuring labeled, full-color illustrations of uniforms from military museums in England and the United States. Uniforms and gear from the Roman Empire through Desert Storm are profiled (Roman, Knights, Samurai, American Revolution, Civil War, World War I and II, Vietnam War, and Desert Storm). Approximately 20 parts of each uniform are labeled--great for Scrabble addicts and Dragon & Dungeon Players. Though containing a few minor errors (ALICE gear was not adopted till after the Vietnam War) and intended primarily for juvenile readers, this dictionary's scope, fair price, and high-quality illustrations recommend it to most school and public libraries.

Grade 6 Up--Cars is comprehensive in its scope, discussing advances in the auto industry from 1770 to the present. Technical and engineering aspects are emphasized, but not to the com plete neglect of well-known cars. The book also includes information on power boosters, elec trical systems, and more. Uniforms has a somewhat deceiving title, as it also includes sections on masks, epaulets, insignia, and more. Land, air, and naval uniforms of yester day and today from many different countries are featured, with a slight bias toward British armed forces. Labels are in the language of the country represented, with English translations. Both volumes feature excellent-quality, full- color photographs and clearly written texts.
