RE: Publisher Genealogy

I know of one done for Law Publishers by Sarah Glassmeyer 
http://sarahglassmeyer.com/?p=431 and then expanded by 3 Geeks 
and a Law Blog

http://www.geeklawblog.com/2010/04/graphing-shrinking-legal-publishing.html

Not Academic Publishers though

Hello fine members of the liblicense list.

I feel like I remember a discussion on this list, or at least one 
message, that included a link to a resource documenting the 
genealogy or acquisition history of the major academic 
publishers. Unfortunately, my searches of my personal email 
archive and the web archive[1] have not turned up anything 
useful.

Does anyone remember this resource, or am I making up this
fantasy?

Baring finding this magical resource, I suppose one could begin
this project by going through a time-line of acquisitions per
publisher[2].

All the best,

Greg
