Network Analysis brings the concepts and applications of this procedure to the broader social science audience and their students. The authors systematically inventory the central features of the network analytic technique, cite original sources to be consulted for greater detail, and suggest diverse applications in social science research. ′The book itself is...comprehensive and it has the low level of mathematics typical of this series...a good place for a social scientist to start.′ -- Bethlem and Maudsley Gazette, Vol 31 No 2, 1983
