From the reviews: "Friesz's book is the result of a small workshop in 2005 on the relevance of network science and allied disciplines to infrastructure system research and engineering. ... The book and its large index will serve its purpose very well, and ... it will encourage others to try to do the same in other areas. ... It is important that specific communities interact more than previously, and this book ... very well be a valuable source of inspiration for continued efforts."
