This one is pretty comprehensive for BSP. And here's a spec for Quake 3 maps.

And here is a bump mapping tutorial, and lots of lurvely source code from the same site (which belongs to a guy who posts here sometimes, apparently).

For bump mapping, I highly suggest the paper "A Practical and Robust Bump Mapping Technique for Todays GPU''s", you can find it on the nVidia Developers site. It explains the concepts and the mathematics very well. The implementation uses the nVidia register combiners, though the theory is transferable to other API''s.

For vertex/fragment programs, I suggest again the nVidia developers site, they have multitudes of articles on this sort of thing.

Death of one is a tragedy, death of a million is just a statistic.
