Product Review
The Structure and Dynamics of Networks performs an important service by bringing together in one volume a number of papers on network theory, and placing them in their historical context [T]he volume will serve as an introduction to the topic for the novice and a resource for the more experienced researcher. -- Sarah Boslaugh MAA Reviews Everyone with a serious interest in the networks studies will want to read the many fine papers this major collection contains. It is to be warmly recommended as a volume deserving to become compulsory reading for all scholars (and students) interested in the field of networks. Current Engineering Practice Each and every one of the featured papers represents a fundamental breakthrough, forming altogether a highly coherent body of knowledge. Professors Newman, Barabasi, and Watts succeed in their selection, and at the same time add an extra value to the book with enlightening and interesting discussions. I strongly recommend this book to researchers and students of the field and, in general, to anyone who wants to enter or learn more about this exciting field of research. -- Marian Boguna Journal of Statistical Physics

Reader Reviews
I was disappointed. The authors are leading scientists in the field, and I therefore expected a coherent exposition of the subject based on their combined knowledge and experience. Instead, the book is only a collection of reprints with some short paragraphs to use as linkage. It is not much more than a list of "best" papers in the field.
