This is the first textbook to take readers through each stage of ego-net research, from conception, through research design and data gathering to analysis. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt starts with the basics, assuming no prior knowledge of social network analysis, but then moves on to introduce cutting edge innovations, covering both new statistical approaches to ego-net analysis and also the most recent thinking on mixing methods (quantitative and qualitative) to achieve depth and rigour.
