Book Synopsis


Trade Review

Networks have played a powerful connective role in human societies since the dawn of agriculture. Brinton and Chiang document and analyze this phenomenon—and reinforce our appreciation of it.
—Vint Cerf, Internet pioneer


Christopher Brinton and Mung Chiang offer an open and accessible pathway through the complexity of network design and deployment . . . a readily understood, yet commendably deep, analysis of the technology and its operation. . . . To describe this book as a course in digital citizenship would not be to overstate its importance.
—John Gilbey, Times Higher Education


Christopher Brinton and Mung Chiang both have backgrounds in electrical engineering, which combined with experience of topics like big data analytics allows them to strike an authoritative but accessible tone.
—Dominic Lenton, Engineering and Technology


The Power of Networks is a well-written and engaging book that I think many readers will find interesting and insightful.
—Jason M. Graham, MAA Reviews
