Intended Audience
The Map Analysis book is a collection of Joseph K. Berry's popular Beyond
Mapping columns published in GEOWorld magazine from 1996 through
2001. 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 book is the third book in a series based on the Beyond
Mapping column in GEOWorld magazine from 1989 to 2001. 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 Map Analysis book is organized into twelve topics that cover a
broad range of subject matter. Each of 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 resource appendix
contains an index, bibliography and definitions of terms. Appendix A
contains reference materials.
