Must read
I think is is a very good book and very effectively highlights the various socio-coginitve issues that are prevalent in communications. The theories could be applied to form new networks or to improve the strength of existing networks. The most prominent feature of the book is that it convincingly draws relationship between diffrent types of theories present in other disciplines ranging from Complexity theory to chaos theory. I wish the book had more illustrations and graphical examples. The format of the book is monotonous. But overall it certainly deserves 5 stars.

THIS BOOK IS THE GOLD STANDARD...
to which all other books written about network communications should be measured. Incredibly intelligent, thoroughly engagaging, this reader picked up this book out of curiosity, and was completely in awe of the complexity of networking. This book does a beautiful job of combining inferential statistics with dynamic theory. You will not want to put this down; this reader called in sick to work in order to finish the book. If you are going to own one book about networking, it should be this book. Seriously.
