Virtual Village Allows Virtual "Fieldwork"; see the article: http://www.futureofthebook.org/next/text/?q=node/65&PHPSESSID=

What's great about this web project is the balance it achieves between interactive mapping and scholarly text… essays provide the user with a strong framework for the actual geographic exploration that begins in the next two sections of the project, "Roam," and "Thematic Maps".

Next/text, http://www.futureofthebook.org/next/text/ is a project of the Institute for the Future of the Book, http://www.futureofthebook.org/. The blog’s postings revolve around the question “what happens when textbooks go digital?”
