Joint Review of The Power of Networks: Six Principles that Connect our Lives
Abstract
These are two books that complement each other; they target different audiences, adopt different pedagogy, they even look very different, yet they treat largely overlapping material. In short, they both present material related to networks; not just computer networks, but any kind of networks that may be subsumed under the newly formed discipline of network science. One of the two books intends to provide a broad sweep and provide a high-level understanding of key concepts, presenting the topics in way accessible to an educated layperson. The other book goes into the nuts and bolts of network science, taking us to the realm of rigorous equations, proofs and algorithms.
