Product Description

Review


"Charles Kadushin is one of the sociologists who pioneered social network analysis and he has continued to make stimulating, thoughtful contributions. His new book provides a lucid, revealing introduction to the basic ideas and findings of the social networks field."
--Claude S. Fischer, University of California, Berkeley


"Finally! A sociologically informed and compelling introduction to social network analysis by one of the giants of the field. While there has been dramatic recent growth in the study of networks, new entrants often miss much of the rich history and compelling social theory that has been the field's foundation. This book represents an introduction to networks for social scientists and students looking to learn the 'why' of social network analysis, rather than computational detail. An all-around gem that should take a canonical place in social network courses."
--James Moody, Duke University


"Social networks are more than Facebook or a set of met --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

An invaluable lesson from a renowned scholar 20 May 2012
By grandstar - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a Ph.D. student specializing in social network analysis (SNA) and, thus, having read several SNA books, I would like to strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in this area. Caution: this is not a book about SNA software or tools; instead, it is about the basic concepts, their underlying social or pscyhological theories, and limitations, which reflect the most recent advancements in this field. Although some sections of the book (e.g., about psychological motivations of social networking) might be a little difficult to follow for students who are not familiar with the topic, the overall contents of the book are easy to read and understand. In particular, what I like most about this book is that the author offers a section of network resarch ethics (which is rare in other books) and, in each chapter, plenty of research directions needed to be explored. At the end of the book, the author presents ten master ideas in the social network study (e.g., homophily, social capital, etc.) as a 12-page-long summary of his book, which, as for me, seems to be the most succint, comprehensive summary about key concepts and findings of SNA up to now.
