Geographical ReviewBy Paul F. Starrs, Editor, The Geographical Review"Let's go beyond content to context!" Since 1851, publications and maps of the American Geographical Society have been a mainstay for Americans interested in exploring the bounds of geography. The foremost voice of the AGS has been The Geographical Review. Today, the journal is anything but just another pretty face. It's where researchers and scientists go to find intriguing answers and new perspectives, from mapping iodine deficiency and its role in human evolution to looking at the distribution of proliferating skyscrapers in midtown cities of the world. The journal explores crime and wealth, nuclear waste storage, and surfing's growth on the French Atlantic coast! Not simple issues, these are questions with broad shoulders and a reach into daily life that the users of GIS and Esri software will find immediate, significant, and germane. We believe in not dancing around an issue; The Geographical Review asks for the "why" behind data patterns and seeks committed answers based on real information. That's something GIS users for the 21st century will be asked to do; as Jack Dangermond has put it, "Let's go beyond content to context." We track where answers lie. So read The Geographical Review. It will complement your GIS, providing an understanding of the background to your problems and data sets. Look to The Geographical Review as an outlet, too. We're savvy about GIS and those who use it. Make us your first listening post for geographic information. That's what savvy private sector executives, government scientists, and academic wizards have done for nearly eight generations. Count yourself among them!
