Reviews

"Barnett focuses on types of social organizational structures and their different ways of functioning in a broad survey of networks past and present...From ′AARP′ to ′zines,′ the set covers a vast array of fields and topics and is current enough to include references to roles played by social media in the 2011 uprisings in Northern Africa. The online version of this title features color illustrations, dozens of media clips, and at least a capacity for regular updates."
