Essential readings

Essential readings on trust metrics:


 * "The Structure and Dynamics of Networks" by Mark Newman, Albert-László Barabási, and Duncan J. Watts, an introduction to the new science of the networks, not related to just trust networks but to networks in general. Just a collection of articles, in fact.


 * , a very mathematical review of the science of the networks, not related to just trust networks but to networks in general.


 * "Why social networks are different from other types of networks" M. E. J. Newman, Juyong Park


 * "The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference" by Malcolm Gladwell. The book seeks to explain "social epidemics", it is inspiring. No formulas in it.


 * "Linked: How Everything Is Connected to Everything Else and What It Means" by Albert-Laszlo Barabasi. Lots of different examples. Inspiring.
