We invite you to participate in the following project:

Business Perspectives in Virtual Environments
(Media-Minds 3)

Our new series "Media-Minds" yields valuable and mind-bending insights into the relations between today`s technology, culture, and society.

This volume intends to provide readers with an overview of "post mortem" business activities in "Second Life" and other selected important virtual environments so far, with the main focus of the book on exploring possible future applications and business models. As future business models are perhaps the most discussed and least understood aspect of the web, the book also includes expert analyses of user-avatar relationships and the emotional impact of virtual environments.

Contributions are welcomed until March 2010. For further informations please contact our current editor Dr. Thomas T. Tabbert at thomas@artificialanthropology.org .
