摘要

Albert-Làaszlò Barabàasi将网络科学带给了大众。在《自然》和《科学》等重量级杂志上发表了一系列论文之后,他的著作《链接》对该领域进行了通俗科学的描述。在《网络科学》一书中,他把注意力转向了那些想从零开始的新学生,并通过广泛而又容易理解的介绍。出版物的爆炸式增长和对网络科学的兴趣使人们很容易忘记它有多新。诚然,网络科学的萌芽早在几十年前就已经播下(人们可以把尤尔和齐夫的工作看作是早期的先驱),但直到本世纪末,来自不同学科的科学家,从计算机科学和数学到物理学和统计学,才开始关注似乎是一套统一的原则和潜在现象。Barabàasi并不是这个领域的发明人,但他的出版物在很多地方引起了轰动;在很短的时间内,全世界的科学家都在研究幂律、关键现象和网络——不是计算机网络,只是网络。(笔者还记得有一段时间,在描述一门网络科学课程时,他总是不得不加上一个附带条件,比如“这不是关于计算机网络的”;否则学生们会认为这是关于硬核计算机科学的。从那以后,情况有所改变。)

Review of Network Science by Albert-Làaszlò Barabàasi
Albert-Làaszlò Barabàasi can be credited with bringing network science to the general public. After a series of papers in such heavyweights as Nature and Science, his book Linked gave a popular science account of the field. With Network Science he turns his attention to newcomer students who want to start from scratch and go through a wide ranging, yet accessible, introduction. The explosion of publications and interest in network science makes it easy to forget how new it is. True, the germs of network science were sown many decades back (one can think of the work of Yule and Zipf as early precursors), but it was not until the end of the millennium that scientists from different disciplines, ranging from computer science and mathematics to physics and statistics, started paying attention to what appear to be a set of unifying principles and underlying phenomena. Barabàasi did not invent the field, but his publications created a lot of buzz in many places; and in a short while, scientists all over were studying power laws, critical phenomena, and networks-not computer networks, just networks. (This reviewer remembers the period, when describing a course on network science he had to always add a proviso like "this is not about computer networks"; otherwise students would get the idea that this was about hardcore computer science. The situation has changed somewhat since then.)
