From the reviews:

"The text is emminently readable.&nbsp; Crabtree is able to synthesize and reflect upon material from a number of areas ... with great clarity of argument.&nbsp; This makes such complex and diverse subject matter approachable for all types of audiences from the social science to computer science, from research to academia.&nbsp; 
The requirements problem discussions in Chapter1 provide a most coherent and convincing argument about the problems associated with both traditional requirements gathering techniques and more cognitively focused HCI approaches for socially situated software.&nbsp; This should be compulsory reading for all students of HCI/CSCW/software requirements."
Geraldine Fitzpatrick, University of Sussex - The Computer Journal, Vol 47, No 3, 2004
Fieldwork methods and sociological analysis have become increasinglyrelevant for designing interactive systems, but how to bring fieldwork,analysis and design together is still mysterious. Crabtree provides aunique insider's perspective and demonstrates the applicability ofethnomethodological analysis throughout the process of design. As well asproviding valuable lessons to practitioners, his book will also contributesignificantly to ongoing debates about the role, contribution, andpracticalities of these methods.Paul Dourish, University of California, Irvine, USA
"Of the various perspectives that jostle together under the rubric of ethnography, ethnomethodology has often held the most appeal for designers. Yet, surprisingly, there has not been a systematic explication of ethnography and ethnomethodology for the purposes of system design. Andy Crabtree puts this to rights in a comprehensive, informative, and accessible practical guide which will be of great value to not only designers but also the ethnographers who work with them." (Graham Button, Lab. Director, Xerox Research Centre, Europe)
"Not only is the book a must for those interested in bringing a social dimension to the system design process, it also makes a significant contribution to ethnomethodology." (Professor John A. Hughes, Lancaster University, UK)
"This book makes a significant contribution, reflecting the work of ethnography itself, in accounting for the practical work of understanding and design in a coherent and accessible manner. This book could be read equally by ethnographers as a book about applied ethnomethodologically informed ethnography, and by designers or developers as a book about how to apply an understanding of the ‘real world, real time character of work’ … ." (Geraldine Fitzpatrick, The Computer Journal, Vol. 47 (3), 2004) 

"Andy Crabtree’s is a slim, quiet, slightly academic book that somehow manages to bring the airy theoretical concepts to life, and to recommend simple and practical ways of using the ideas … . Crabtree has produced a fine pioneering essay which sketches, on the basis of a mountainous literature, how in principle ethnography could migrate from the research lab of a university to the research and development lab of a large software or systems corporation." (Ian Alexander, Requirenautics Quarterly, July, 2003)

"The editor has succeeded well in the selection of authors, who have particularly strong profiles in their respective areas of research."……"Overall, this is an excellent book with a lot of valuable, concisely presented information. The literature references usually end with the year 2001. Occasional language shortcomings, or formulas that are printed too small, cannot significantly detract from the high quality of the contributions."Holger Butenschön, Institute for Organic Chemistry, University of HannoverJournal: Angewandte Chemie, Vol. 44, Issue 11, p. 1591-1592 (2005)

From the book reviews:“This is an erudite and competent book of great value, not only to specialists in the field. It should be very useful for both advanced students and active researchers in the field of geomathematics, geophysics, and geoengineering, and also for geooriented applied mathematicians. The style is superb and clear, and the organization is very well planned. I believe this excellent book should be required reading for all earth-oriented scientists.” (Andrzej Icha, Pure and Applied Geophysics, Vol. 172, 2015)“This book provides an accessible and modern approach to special functions and applications to geomathematics, applied mathematics, environmental and engineering sciences. … this will create new interest and useful leads for those engaged in the advanced study and research in special functions and their applications. … book will continue to be very useful as a graduate level text and an interdisciplinary research reference for professionals in applied mathematics, geomathematics and harmonic analysis. … this book is a new and excellent addition to the mathematics literature.” (L. Debnath, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2013)

From the reviews:
"Euthanasia in the Netherlands is an excellent book on an important topic. It succeeds in giving an even-handed appraisal of Dutch euthanasia practices, providing a better understanding and valuable insights of the Dutch experience with euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. Cohen-Almagor analyses clearly and accurately the weaknesses of the policy and offers recommendations for correcting the deficiencies and developing a sounder policy. He combines an overview of the literature with analyses and interpretations of the intriguing interviews he conducted with key people in the Netherlands. […] Cohen-Almagor’s book is critical but judicious. He gives a balanced account of the views with which he disagrees and he carefully explains the basis for his disagreement. His style of writing is straightforward, clear, easy to follow, logical, and coherent. Bioethicists and other scholars in medicine, public health, and law will be interested in this book. College teachers of medical ethics will also find it valuable, and educated general readers with a special interest in euthanasia will find it helpful." (Professor William R. Winslade, Institute for the Medical Humanities, University of Texas)"Writing a book on the Dutch experience with euthanasia is not an easy matter. […] Several reasons can explain the difficulty. First of all the ethics of the present palliative and terminal care has not been spelled out in detail until recent years. The difficulties every physician meets more than once in his career when confronted with a sincere wish of the patient to die in a humane way in a situation of unbearable suffering, are still puzzling for moral and legal thinking. Secondly, our ways of legal and public thinking are still not adapted to the situation in which death is a part of life, not so much as a natural fact but as a process that can be controlled. The goals of medicine to uphold human dignity and to alleviate suffering are at stake in this process. […] The Dutch policy to aim at a system of both legal clarity and control is perhaps at this moment the most articulated answer to the difficulties, but will almost certainly not be the last word in the issues of death and dying. […] Rafi Cohen-Almagor has contributed much to the ongoing discussions by interviewing all the prominent legal, moral, political and medical people involved in the development of the Dutch legal ruling. His analysis of the interviews is based on clear, lucid thinking and argument. Unlike some others he tries to stay with the facts without entangling them with moral or political prejudice. Instead he tries to develop a view according to best standards of academic thinking. In the end he gives his own conclusion based on his experiences. One does not need to subscribe them in order to appreciate the work Prof. Cohen-Almagor has done. This book will certainly be helpful in every discussion on the legal and moral principles of assistance in dying, in traditions of legal philosophy such as the schools of Dworkin, Rawls and Kelsen. It can help physicians, nurses and others engaged in palliative care to sharpen their views in the ethics of palliative care as well in the forms of public and legal control that are needed in the burdensome but rewarding work of assistance in dying."(Prof. Evert van Leeuwen, Faculteit der Geneeskunde, Section Philosophy and Medical Ethics, Free University of Amsterdam)
