[Air-l] social network analysis

[Barry Wellman]

Someone asked about Social Network Analysis, but gave a non-standard
reference as a source.

THE standard reference is Stanley Wasserman & Kathryn Faust, _Social
Network Analysis (Cambridge U Press).

For a non-technical intro, see my "Structural Analysis: From Method and
Metaphor to ..." It's out of print (in Wellman & Berkowitz, _Social
Structures: A Network Approach_), but scanned into my website.

There's also a growing literature on web networks (so much more convenient
when you don't have to deal with real people), with key works by Duncan
Watts, Lada Adamic, Bernardo Huberman, Jon Kleinberg.

I'll let the Actor-Network people speak for themselves.
