Joachim Schmid: Photoworks 1982-2007
Joan Fontcuberta, Frits Gierstberg, ...

Steidl, Photoworks UK, Tang Museum, 2007

Joachim Schmid began his career as a critic, arguing passionately against prevailing notions of "art photography" and in favor of a broad, encompassing view of the medium as a form of cultural practice. In the late 80s, he shifted his focus to making those arguments in his own art, which is based primarily on found photography. At the time, Schmid lived near one of the largest flea markets in Berlin, and his broad collection of vernacular ...

World War II Street-Fighting Tactics (Elite)
Stephen Bull

Osprey Publishing, 2008

In a continuation of the tactics mini-series, this new book describes and analyzes the physical tactics of the close-quarter fighting that took place in the ruined cities on both the Western and Eastern Fronts of World War II. Street-to-street fighting in cities was not a new development, but the bombed-out shells of cities and advances in weaponry meant that World War II took it to a new level of savagery and violence. New tactics developed ...

Stephen Bull

Osprey Publishing, 2002

Good, but Anglo-centric
Dr. Stephen Bull, curator of Military History and Archaeology at the Museum of Lancashire, picks up in this volume where he left off in his first Osprey volume on trench warfare. In this volume, Dr. Bull covers the evolution of trench warfare in 1916-1918. While far from comprehensive, this volume is interesting and does cover the most important aspects of the subject. However, readers should ...

An Historical Guide to Arms & Armor

Stephen Bull

Checkmark Books, 1991

A fascinating account of arms and armor through text and photography
At the onset let's establish the dual aspect of arms and armor. Obviously the first is protection, a means of attack, battle products. The second is probably as important: weapons reflected wealth, prestige, and power of the bearer. Practicality and artistry were wrapped into each weapon. "An Historical Guide to Arms and Armor" shows this development from earliest times, even including weapons as ...

World War One: British Army (Brassey's History of Uniforms Series)

4 reviews
Stephen Bull

Brassey's Inc, 1999

Good Overview
For a easy to read overview of the organization, equipt and uniforms of the British Army of WW1, this book is quite good. It has many interesting photos but the artwork plates are of only average quality. Some interesting indexes in the back. For the price, I was hoping for a bit more. I would buy one of the Osprey WW1 titles first but Bull's book is a good second.

Classic Bull: An Accidental Restaurateur's Cookbook

This book tells the story of Bull's coming of age in the kitchen, and his adventures in the trendy but gruelling restaurant trade. It is also a collection of his ...

TRENCH WARFARE (Battle Tactics)
Stephen Bull

Casemate, 2003

Trench Warfare looks at that most static form of war, the trenches of World War I. The Introduction examines the precedents and precursors to the European charnel house that saw nearly eight million dead on both sides, and the technology of mass slaughter -the machine guns and artillery pieces that would cause such casualties. The first chapter looks carefully at the trench itself - how they were built and the way this changed over four years ...

The Lancaster Roman Cavalry Stone

AN OFFICER'S MANUAL OF THE WESTERN FRONT 1914-1918
Stephen Bull

Conway Maritime Press, 2008

Many people have the idea that the 'Great War' on the Western Front was simple, if ghastly, to fight - with few tactics, and unbroken, monotonous, trench lines as the main feature of the battlefield. In such a scenario soldiers with rifles and bayonets charging each other in blind obedience to stupid repetitious orders are imagined as archetypal of battle. Though undeniably bloody the war was in fact a ferment of new ideas and new weapons. ...
