A very good text tackling a complex issue, highly recommended. -- Stuart Agnew * University Campus Suffolk, UK * I cannot recommend the work of John Scott too highly. Although social network analysis is relatively new, it has become hugely influential across the social sciences and Scotts book is at the forefront of this type of analysis. It will be of inestimable help to those contemplating this method in their research. * Georgina Murray, Adjunct Associate Professor Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia * A clear, engaging and informative introduction by a long-standing and well-respected expert. Updated to take account of recent innovations in the field, John Scott has provided an excellent entry point for anybody wondering what social network analysis is and whether it might be of use to them. Highly recommended! * Nick Crossley, Professor of Sociology, Mitchell Centre for Social Network Analysis, University of Manchester, UK * A superb short introduction to the concepts and methods of social network analysis, combining conceptual explanation and practical guidance to analytic methods and software, with illustrative practical examples. A masterpiece of compression and concision by the leading author of social networks textbooks. * Peter Carrington, Professor Emeritus, University of Waterloo, Canada *
