“This book comprehensively describes network theory applied to chemical reactions, delivering powerful conclusions surprisingly following from hypotheses that are essentially formulated in terms of linear algebra and graph theory. ... The presentation is rich in material including motivating examples, applications to practical problems, guide to the literature, and mathematical proofs. It deserves a salient place in the section on mathematical chemistry of any library.” (Dieter Erle, zbMATH 1420.92001, 2019)
