Product Description
Social network analysis, which focuses on relationships among social entities, is used widely in the social and behavioral sciences, as well as in economics, marketing, and industrial engineering. Social Network Analysis: Methods and Applications reviews and discusses methods for the analysis of social networks with a focus on applications of these methods to many substantive examples. As the first book to provide a comprehensive coverage of the methodology and applications of the field, this study is both a reference book and a textbook.
Este libro es una referencia seria acerca del estudio de las redes sociales, ya que aborda al tema desde una perspectiva académica y formal, no es muy bueno para aquellos que se están introduciendo al tema, ya que les puede resultar demasiado densa la lectura, sin ambargo para aquellas personas que se dedican a la ciencia e investigación y buscan un tema frontera para iniciar una investigación es excelente.
Rating: 4 / 5
This volume offers a comprehensive introduction to the field of Social Network Analysis. It’s bibliography is extraordinarily complete.
Rating: 5 / 5
This book is basically a compilation of different things, most of them pretty useless. In particular, all the mathematical part is in view of the recent developments of network theory, totally obsolete. It seems a better investment to buy a network theory book or a “real” sociology book.

I think, This book is the best written book I have ever read. I use it to teach my students how to write. My first language is spanish, but the book is so well written that is extremily easy to read and understand. And most important than this, it is an excelente and necessary book to introduce social network analisys to any new practitioner.

This book is supported in graph theory, the authors make a comprehensively use of matrix technique and short formulas for explaining how social groups are associated.
The issue is that you, independently of the field in which develop your tasks, can apply network analysis for a better understanding of the environment and their entities.
Congratulations to the authors.
