I hav e one suggestion for the publishers; in the nex t v ersion, please change
to a bigger and more ey e-pleasing font, such as New Times Roman. I found
the present font and size uncomfortable for the ey es. I am sure that ev en if
this increases the book's size by another 50 pages or so, readers will not
mind the bulk. Also, the cov er page is not appealing. Giv en the classic
nature of this book, the phy sical format of the book needs to be
significantly improv ed.
Kadushin does not make claims in the book that can be argued or debated
because he bases his writings primarily on the rev iew of ex isting literature.
Nonetheless, the powerful v oice of the author is ev ident throughout the
book. Kadushin has done the difficult job of bringing together the
knowledge of hundreds of research papers and books in the fast-ev olv ing
field of social networks. The book is timely and can act as a source of
knowledge for both general readers and network scientists looking for new
ideas to further their research.
