Networks: An Introduction
"[Networks] distinguishes itself from other network texts by its attention to the breadth of both the areas to which networks have been applied and the techniques for reasoning about them. It is likely to become the standard introductory textbook for the study of networks, and it is valuable as a desk-side reference for anyone who works with network problems." -- H. Van Dyke Parunak,Computing Reviews"An excellent textbook for the growing field of networks. It is cleverly written and suitable as both an introduction for undergraduate students and as a roadmap for graduate students. Furthermore, its more than 300 bibliographic references will guide readers who are interested in particular topics. Being highly self-contained, computer scientists and professionals from other fields can also use the book -- in fact, the author himself is a physicist. In short, this book is a delight for the inquisitive mind." -- Fernando Berzal,Computing Reviews
