David Knoke and Song Yang′s Social Network Analysis, Third Edition
provides a concise introduction to the concepts and tools of social
network analysis. The authors convey key material while at the same
time minimizing technical complexities. The examples are simple: sets
of 5 or 6 entities such as individuals, positions in a hierarchy,
political offices, and nation-states, and the relations between them
include friendship, communication, supervision, donations, and trade.
The new edition reflects developments and changes in practice over the
past decade. The authors also describe important recent developments
in network analysis, especially in the fifth chapter. Exponential
random graph models (ERGMs) are a prime example: when the second
edition was published, P* models were the recommended approach for
this, but they have been replaced by ERGMs. Finally, throughout the
volume, the authors comment on the challenges and opportunities
offered by internet and social media data.
