Summary:

What do road and railway systems, mingling at parties, mazes, family trees, and the Internet all have in common? All are networks - either people or places or things that relate and connect to one another. Peter Higgins shows that all these phenomena - and many more - are underpinned by the same deep mathematical structure.
