From ecosystems to Facebook, from the Internet to the global financial market, some of the most important and familiar natural systems and social phenomena are based on a networked structure. It is impossible to understand the spread of an epidemic, a computer virus, large-scale blackouts, or massive extinctions without taking into account the network structure that underlies all these phenomena.
In this Very Short Introduction, Guido Caldarelli and Michele Catanzaro discuss the nature and variety of networks, using everyday examples from society, technology, nature, and history to explain and understand the science of network theory. They show the ubiquitous role of networks; how networks self-organize; why the rich get richer; and how networks can spontaneously collapse. They conclude by highlighting how the findings of complex network theory have very wide and important applications in genetics, ecology, communications, economics, and sociology.

Zustand: Muy bueno. : En esta breve introducción, Guido Caldarelli y Michele Catanzaro exploran la naturaleza y variedad de las redes, utilizando ejemplos cotidianos de la sociedad, la tecnología, la naturaleza y la historia para iluminar la ciencia de la teoría de redes. Los autores describen el papel omnipresente de las redes, revelan cómo se autoorganizan, explican por qué los ricos se hacen más ricos y discuten cómo las redes pueden colapsar espontáneamente. Concluyen destacando cómo los hallazgos de la teoría de redes complejas tienen aplicaciones muy amplias e importantes en genética, ecología, comunicaciones, economía y sociología.
