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.” (Michael Patriksson, Journal of Regional Science, Vol. 49 (5), December, 2009)
