Yes, another new book on the virtual university. This one is to be published by Pergamon next year and looks particularly interesting as it comes from a workshop hosted by the United Nations University in Tokyo. Indeed it's edited by two people on the UNU staff. Details as below, but note that you can access chapter summaries at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Station/7087/BookAbstracts.html Eds.
