Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.co.uk

You may be only six degrees away from Kevin Bacon, but would he lend you his car? It depends on the network that links you. In Six Degrees, sociologist Duncan Watts examines networks like these: what they are, how they're being studied, and what we can use them for. When the power goes out, when we find that a stranger knows someone we know, when dot-com stocks soar in price, networks are evident. To illustrate the often complicated mathematics that describe such structures, Watts uses plenty of examples from real life, without which this book would quickly move beyond a general science readership. Small chapters make each thought-provoking conclusion easy to swallow, though some are hard to digest. For instance, in a short bit on "coercive externalities", Watts sums up sociological research showing that:
Conversations concerning politics displayed a consistent pattern ... On election day, the strongest predictor of electoral success was not which party an individual privately supported but which party he or she expected would win."
Six Degrees attempts to help readers understand the new and exciting field of networks and complexity. While considerably more demanding than a general book such as The Tipping Point, it offers readers a snapshot of a riveting moment in science, when understanding things such as disease epidemics and the stock market seems almost within our reach. --Therese Littleton, Amazon.com -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

4.0 von 5 Sternen Good book but has huge competition, 31. August 2009
Von Gret Alexandre "alexgret" (Schweiz) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very well written book on the topic. I think it's best for a casual first look at network science. There are a couple books out there that have quite a large overlap with the content (e.g. linked...).
I would buy either Six Degrees or Linked and then go directly into the scientific literature - don't waste your time (like I did) reading more than one overview book.

If I had to choose - I'd probably go for this one! Nothing ecstatic about it thought - just solid.
