Reviews

`This book is the first technical text on the currently fashionable filed of complex networks. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in this new and interdisciplinary field of research. ' Journal of Statistical Physics `'Evolution of Networks' offers an excellent foundation from which the fast-paced field can be approached with confidence. It would be an excellent addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in networks. ' Physics Today
