ISBN: 9781412947152.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe live in a world that is paradoxically small and vast: each of us is embedded in local communities and yet we are only a few ′links′ away from anyone else in the world.\nThis engaging book represents these interdependencies′ positive and negative consequences, their multiple effects and the ways in which a local occurrence in one part of the world can directly affect the rest. Then it demonstrates precisely how these interactions and relationships form.\nThis is a book for the social network novice on learning how to study, think about and analyse social networks; the intermediate user, not yet familiar with some of the newer developments in the field; and the teacher looking for a range of exercises, as well as an up-to-date historical account of the field.\nIt is divided into three sections:\n1. Historical \u0026amp; Background Concepts\n2. Levels of Analysis\n3. Advances, Extensions and Conclusions\nThe book provides a full overview of the field - historical origins, common theoretical perspectives and frameworks; traditional and current analytical procedures and fundamental mathematical equations needed to get a foothold in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sage Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946727436341,"sku":"ByrdShop_1412947154","price":56.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781412947152_df01a7f1-74ec-47b9-9290-ee68fbd8b517.jpg?v=1778957000","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/social-network-analysis-history-theory-and-methodology-9781412947152","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
