Book Description
This wonderful new survey follows the evolution of the sports helmet from early military and aviation uses, through early motorcycle and auto racing, and to modern helmets used in a wide variety of sports today. The science of helmet design and manufacture is covered before moving into the art of the helmet. Helmets for six major sports are extensively covered: auto and motorcycle racing, bicycling, equestrian activities, skiing, football, and ice hockey. Some lesser known sports and their helmets are also included to give a fascinating and complete panorama of the field. The design innovations, both for safety and appearance, the colors, and the fascinating history will engage the reader, while nearly 600 color images will please even the most particular sports fan. For designers, players, scientists, and historians this book is a true delight.

Book Description
The German Stahlhelm is perhaps the most recognizable image of World War II. Manufactured in its millions, it was used or copied by many countries. It is still one of the most collected relics of the war; but despite its relative availability, prices have reached levels that challenge collectors to protect themselves by acquiring in-depth knowledge. This book, by a collector of 30 years' standing, offers a detailed masterclass in the patterns, component parts and finishes of the combat helmets used by the German Army, Navy and Air Force. It is illustrated with a superb selection of rare period photos, colour photos of collected examples, and striking colour paintings.

Book Description
Indonesia, the governing department should have standard rules into the production of the combat helmet for the army and how manufacturing processes should consider on the material and the design shape in the future, such as lowering weight and adding mobility to the user. Ultimately, the suggestions made in this report can plausibly change on how the governing standards of Indonesian combat helmets for the army can move into the next level and finally can demonstrate a higher level of quality in many parts of the helmet design that has been examined and analysed with the support of academic research and testing protocols. Currently, the department needs to focus on the potential fragmentation in the future such as threats, especially brain injury from bullet effects or other ballistic threats. As a result, it is arguable that the army and the head office of production for combat helmets should concern on the operational testing and evaluation before making the decision to produce the proposed design of the helmet. This can, therefore, improve the design of the combat helmet for the army in Indonesia.
