Improved Maps of Meaning PDFs

Jordan Peterson’s book Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief was published by Routledge in 1999. Peterson offers two technically unworkable PDFs of the book for download. I improved those PDFs were possible.

For 2019, those PDFs now reside at the Internet Archive.

English
Jordan’s original PDF, dated 2002 (avoid)
Improved PDF (at Archive.org): Has bookmarks and index; is a tagged PDF but is not claimed to be accessible; does not and will not link endnotes to their references; awful typography could not be improved; many typos even in headings fixed in bookmarks
Russian
Peterson’s original Russian PDF of Карта смыслов, dated 2009 (also avoid)
Marginally improved PDF (at Archive.org): This file is so technically broken that the improvements are slight. Even the character encoding is broken, so good luck always seeing Cyrillic characters. Bookmark addition was impossible. Tags added; indexing was pointless

Nothing else is available here.
