Covering all major aspects of the emerging Web Science in a single book would be considered impossible owing to extensive, diverse concurrent developments. This is definitely the only book that I know which has come close to achieving this feat. This book will serve as an authoritative guide and excellent platform for comprehensively addressing new generation Web technologies and applications. I am happy to recommend this book to anyone interesting in this area.
