`We highly recommend this book for those who need an introduction to network analysis but want more than a textbook and want to actually move directly into research and data analysis' - Bulletin de Methodologie Sociologique `This book is a valuable addition. The social network area is so lively, important and distinctive that it needs a goodnew introductory book every few years....It packs a surprising amount of important material into a modest amount of space, and delivers the material with style' - Sociological Research Online
