Böcker av Joel Black

Since then, both traditional art forms and the modern mass media have contributed to the growing aestheticization of violence.

In this volume, Joel Black argues that our ever-increasing desire to make visible every aspect of our lives is an impulse derived from cinema - one that has made life less "real". He approaches film as a documentary medium that has obscured the line between reality and fiction.

With over 1400 images and thorough text, this book provides new research on the Webley RIC, MP, and No. 5 revolvers, revealing examples never before seen in print. Includes new information on Webleys purchased by police agencies prior to the RIC models. Covers Webley production from 1864 to 1938. Early Webley models used a wide variety of frames from different firms, giving the impression the company produced firearms in greater numbers than they did. A number of Webley's miscellaneous solid frames are also included, along with a discussion of military purchases of solid frame Webley revolvers, and displays of Webley loading tools, cartridges, cartridge boxes, the 1903 catalog, and previously unknown caliber offerings. This book is an absolute must for all dedicated firearms collectors and dealers.
