Book excerpt: "Alan Daly and his team of scholars are to be commended for bringing social network analysis to bear on pressing issues in education. This powerful new analytic strategy offers a window into the social workings of schools in ways that previous methods have not. The authors in this volume have asked important questions about the role of social networks in school reform, the expansion of teacher professional knowledge, and the diffusion of innovative practices. It will be read with interest by scholars and practitioners alike."---Megan Tschannen-Moran, associate professor, School of Education, The College of William & Mary --
