Computerized mapping of disease and environmental data. A report of the Mapping of Disease (MOD) Project.

Washington, DC: Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, 1969.

This appears to be the earliest monograph on computerized disease mapping. At the time the research was conducted both computer graphics processing and data output in mainframe computers were inadequate for drawing all but very primitive maps so that many of the images in the book compare the very limited computer graphic output with traditional simple hand-drawn black & white maps. Much of the book describes the planning of appropriate data collection and data input methodologies for computer processing of epidemiological and environmental data. With Roger J. Cuffey, Jerome Monrenoff, Wayne L. Richmond, and Joseph D. H. Sidley.
