"It should be an invaluable reference for scholars in the field and
a critical resource...." Journal of the American Statistical
Association
"The long-awaited publication of this volume marks a half-century
maturation of social network analysis into a multidisciplinary
research specialty with distinctive vocabulary, theoretical
principles, and data-analytic techniques. Wasserman and Faust
provide a compass by which to steer our path into the next
century." Theory and Methods
