′I am often asked by people new to network analysis for something they can read to get a quick sense of the area. I refer them to this book. Now updated, Scott′s book continues to be the most accessible introduction to social network analysis. Experts should have two copies: one to use, one to loan′ - Ronald S Burt, University of Chicago and European Institute of Business Administration (INSEAD) Praise for the First Edition: `This book is essential for those who want to keep up with - and move forward with - the field′ - Professor Barry Wellman, University of Toronto `John Scott′s Social Network Analysis: A Handbook fills a gap between simplist introductions and inaccessibly technical treatments. The increasing popularity of these methods warrants a solid introductory text, which Scott′s book admirably provides′ - David Knoke, University of Minnesota
