From the reviews:"Cowley's book touches all the bases, more of them, in fact, than most similar books, and does so in a mere 230 pages, including two appendices and an index. ... The chief beneficiaries of a book like this would seem to be managers and interested laymen who want a high-level overview of 'networks' without having to go into any detail. The work is well written and will be ... interest to these groups." (G. M. White, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (2), February, 2008)
