Lateral searches

So I was poking around the Albertson's Library and started by searching for "Medieval Armor." I came up with this which looked fairly interesting:

I poked around a bit more and found one about medieval warfare that I liked. Here is the chain that led me to it. It doesn't look to be specifically about making armor but more on how it was used in warfare. It seems to me that smiths would need to study and understand how the armor was being used in order to make better armor, so I decided I wanted to look this one up, maybe check it out for some light, or heavy, reading.

I like this lateral searching technique....it's just like browsing on the web, going from link to link. It is easy to get lost though so I need to remember to either bookmark or copy the links so I can get back to them.
