This
Atlas of international, national, and regional bridge maps is designed
for visualizing
information
about the broader bridge-playing population. Selected problems
are
considered using the evidence of maps. These maps are tied in the
computer to various ACBL databases and U.S. Census databases.
Thanks
to Jay Baum, ACBL CEO, Rick
Beye, Carol Robertson, Richard Oshlag, and Ed Evers, ACBL, for
providing
the materials directly to Sandra Arlinghaus, who then created the map
sets
using GIS software (ESRI, ArcView 3.2) that forges a dynamic link
between underlying
database
and outline base map. Graphic adjusments of various kinds were
made in Adobe PhotoShop or Adobe Illustrator. The linked materials display data from the ACBL national data base. If you are looking for local materials related to finding a bridge club, please go to maps created originally by Jim Lahey, former District 12 Webmaster, and maintained by Alan W. Bau, current District 12 Webmaster (http://www.d12bridge.org/). If instead, you are looking for materials about the broader bridge-playing population, at the regional and national levels, you are in the right place! |
