Chronological Listing of Beyond Mapping Columns and Other Papers

…since the publication of the Map Analysis book and CD references (January 2007 to present)

by Joseph K. Berry

Beyond Mapping III: Compilation of Beyond Mapping Columns is an online book organizing the columns into 28 Topics, Introduction and Epilog

Map Analysis: Understanding Spatial Patterns and Relationships is a hardcopy book of selected columns with companion CD-ROM for hands-on exercises and further reading

The Map Analysis book is a compilation of 43 Beyond Mapping Columns in the hardcopy version and links to 83 additional columns on the companion CD. The columns appeared in GeoWorld from September 1996 to January 2007.

The following listing provides online links to subsequent columns since the Book/CD’s publication. A complete chronological listing and online links of Beyond Mapping columns are available at— http://www.innovativegis.com/basis/MapAnalysis/ChronList/ChronologicalListing.htm

In addition, the Beyond Mapping columns can be accessed via http://www.geoplace.com, select the “News” item at the top-left, then “Articles/Columns & Archives” and from the second “or search by” pick list choose “Beyond Mapping.”
