<DIV><SPAN class=156374216-25022010><FONT size=2 face=Arial>"Virtual worlds are
persistent online computer-generated environments where people can interact,
whether for work or play, in a manner comparable to the real world. The most
popular current example is World of Warcraft, a massively multiplayer online
game with eleven million subscribers. However, other virtual worlds, notably
Second Life, are not games at all but internet-based collaboration contexts in
which people can create virtual objects, simulated architecture, and working
groups.</FONT>
<P><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><SPAN class=156374216-25022010>"</SPAN>This
book brings together an international team of highly accomplished authors to
examine the phenomena of virtual worlds, using a range of theories and
methodologies to discover the principles that are making virtual worlds
increasingly popular, and which are establishing them as a major sector of
human-centered computing.<SPAN
