• This is a book about virtual reality (VR) in geography. We assume that most people reading it will have an understanding of the term 'geography', but unfortunately although, and perhaps because, 'virtual reality' is a very trendy term, neither 'virtual' nor 'reality' is either well defined or strictly appropriate. For example, much more helpful would be the earlier notion of 'alternative reality' or the more recent one of 'virtual worlds'.
