Antoine Poidebard, (1878-1955) was a French archaeologist and Jesuit missionary. He pioneered aerial archaeology in the Middle East. In 1925, during his flights in the Syrian desert, Poidebard discovered tiny reliefs thanks to the shadows brought to the ground by the evening shining light, which revealed geometric structures. It was on this basis that he became the first known airborne prospector, as he was able to map all the layout of the Roman limes using the technical means of the air force. Aerial archeology was born. The air explorer Raymond Chevallier identifies two periods of study in the works of Antoine Poidebard: A first, from 1925 to 1932, during which the researches of Antoine Poidebard fixed the course of the Imperial Limes of Basrah at Palmyra and the Tigris; A second, from 1932 to 1942, which made it possible to specify the Roman organization of the rear of the Euphrates and the Orontes. The result of his work is 550 hours of flight divided into 250 missions during which were taken thousands of photographs on a zone of 1,000 kilometers over 300 kilometers.

1900Very Good German Original decorative cloth bdg. Cr. 8vo. (19 x 13 cm). In German. 1 portrait of Wereschtscagin, [4], 184, [10] p., ills. Owner's name on imprint page, marbled edges. A very good copy. The Battle of Geok Tepe in 1881 was the main event in the 1880/81 Russian campaign to conquer the Teke Turkomans. Its effect was to give the Russian Empire control over most of what is now Turkmenistan, thereby nearly completing the Russian conquest of Central Asia. The battle is also called Denghil-Tepe or Dangil Teppe. Sources are inconsistent, but Denghil-Tepe seems to have been the name of the fort and also the name of a small hill or tumulus in the northwest corner of the fort. Geok Tepe ('Blue Hill') seems to refer to the general area, the modern town, a nearby village, and a mountain to the south. Skrine says that the fort enclosed 2.6 square kilometers (1 sq mi) or more, with mud walls 5.5 m (18 ft) thick and 3 m (10 ft) high on the inside and a 1.2 m (4 ft) dry ditch on the outside, although other dimensions are given. The area was part of the Akhal Oasis where streams coming down from the Kopet Dagh support irrigation agriculture. After Russian forces were defeated in 1879 Russia began to plan for a new campaign. The basic problem was moving up supplies since Akhal was an oasis surrounded by several hundred kilometers of semi-desert. In March 1880 Mikhail Skobelev was put in charge of the Trans-Caspian region. He adopted Lazarev's original plan of a slow and massive advance. Instead of Khoja Kale, he chose a base at Bami on the north side of the Kopet Dagh. At some point, he decided to take Geok Tepe by siege rather than a storm. He arrived at Chikislyar in May, advanced up the Atrek and Sumbar rivers, and by June 11 he occupied Bami. The build-up was slow, partly due to the shortage of camels. In July he made a reconnaissance in force to examine Geok Tepe. By the first half of December, he had enough men and supplies and moved out to occupy a fort he renamed "Samur" a few kilometers west of Geok Tepe. On 27 December Aleksey Kuropatkin arrived with five companies, having made a remarkable march across the desert from Khiva. By the end of the month, Skobelev had 4020 infantry, 750 cavalry as well as artillery, rockets, several machine guns, and heliographs for communications. About 40000 Tekkes were thought to be in the area. On January 1, 1881, he occupied Yanghi-Kala south of the fort to control the water supply and the following day chose the southeast corner as the point of attack and on the following day moved the main camp to Yanghi-Kala. On 4-8 January, the first parallel was built about 600 m (700 yds) from the fort and a second began. To protect this a detachment was sent to capture a small redoubt to the north and General Petrushevich was killed after rushing through the gate. The Tekkes made sorties on the 9th, 11th, and 16th. These were largely successful but cost many Turkoman lives. The camp was twice moved north to make it easier to deal with sorties. The Russians only had enough men to hold a siege line in the southeast corner and the Tekkes were usually allowed to move in and out on the north side of the fort. On January 18 a mine was started on the southeast side and two days later artillery made a breach in the south wall which was quickly repaired. On 23 January the mine was completed and loaded with 1,200 kg (2,600 lb) of powder.

2016New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 22 cm). Edition in English. 343 p., b/w and color ills. Two coasts one sea III: Sections from Turkish-Russian common history. Translated by Natalia Kizilkaya. Two geographies both on Asia and Europe on the coasts of the Black Sea basin, Turkey and Russia. These two countries that are among the most important and strongest figures of the world area have strengthened their relations with rooted cultural, economic and social sharing besides the same lands in the past centuries. They shared the same fate and history of nearly 500 years in Eurasia that has housed several civilizations. Starting from Kiev Russia and Seljuk era, the history of these two geographies have reflected each other on the journey of each turning into strong empires such as Moscow Russia and the Ottoman Beylik and state structures respectively. Russia and Turkey weaved their similar fate of their joint past sometimes with war and sometimes with peace, alliance, aid and friendship... They underwent 12 great wars in depth but showed extraordinary solidarity as if to inspire the proverb "a neighbor is in need of another"; just like the in the war of Independence. The book "Two coasts and One Sea" gives the opportunity to analyze developments in culture, literature, arts and economy in the wide spectrum of history besides acting a unique historian that brings a perspective to our lives shaped in the same geographies. In other words, it accompanies the journey of Turkish-Russian relations from the Ottoman era to the Republic. This is third and the last volume.
