Today on Word of Mouth, we hear how modern day cartographers are harnessing the power of the digital age to make interactive maps that can transport us practically anywhere. We'll also hear from a composer who was commissioned to make music for a morgue. We'll meet a man who's turning Facebook into an online blood drive, and writer Matthew Battles will introduce us to some of the best books coming out of universities.
