Intended Audience
Beyond Mapping III
is an electronic collection of Joseph K. Berry's popular Beyond Mapping
columns published in GeoWorld
magazine from 1996 through 2007. It is intended to be used as a
self-instructional text or used in support of formal academic courses for study
of grid-based map analysis.
Content and Organization
This electronic book is the third
book in a series based on the Beyond Mapping column in GeoWorld magazine
from 1989 to 2007. The first book entitled Beyond Mapping:
Concepts, Algorithms, and Issues in GIS
(Joseph K. Berry, 1993; John Wiley Publishers) covers the period 1989 through
1993. The book Spatial Reasoning
for Effective GIS (Joseph K.
Berry, 1995; John Wiley Publishers) covers the period 1993 through 1996.
The Beyond Mapping III
compilation is organized into twenty seven topics that cover a broad range of
subject matter. The topics are subdivided into a number of related
sub-topics that focus on specific issues, techniques or concepts. The
reader is encouraged to read the sub-topic material in sequence, but can read
the full topics in any order.
The hardcopy book Map
Analysis: Understanding
Spatial Patterns and Relationships (10 topics, 220 pages, 32 figures;
Joseph K. Berry, 2007; GeoTec Media Publishers) contains selected works from
this series providing a succinct structured view of the important concepts,
considerations and procedures involved in grid-based map analysis. The book is ideal for professionals and
students interested in a basic understanding of the concepts, procedures and
considerations in analyzing mapped data and constructing sound GIS models. The book’s companion CD-ROM contains further
readings, color graphics and software for hands-on experience with the material
presented. In addition, an Instructor’s CD-ROM is
