[Sigia-l] Book Review: Linked - The New Science of Networks

[Sean Lawrence]

I just picked this up and have absorbed a bit of it and I can already tell
this is an important book representing a growing shift in the Western
paradigm towards a more molar, interconnected manner of seeing things.

It discusses how understanding networks can lead to new insights in to all
realms of study from viruses on the web to social analysis to cellular
biology.

I'm sure that a book like this can render some very mind-altering ways we
can view information and how to work with it.

Get this book, borrow this book...read it!

It's very readable and the author, Alberto-Laszlo Barabasi, is quite a
credible source being a Professor of Physics at Notre Dame.

Cheers,

Sean
