This week's book is "Working with Network Data" by J. Bagrow and Y.-Y. Ahn. Networks are the keystone concept necessary to understand a wealth of real-world complex systems whose behavior is characterized by interactions between individual components. In this book, J. Bagrow and Y.-Y. Ahn, two leading researchers in the field of Complex Networks, introduce readers to the fundamental concepts of Network Science and how to apply them to practical datasets. Their hands-on approach will get you up to speed quickly, allowing you to develop effective approaches to understanding your own network datasets.
