From the reviews:“The present volume is an offshoot of an international project on longevity initiated by James Vaupel at the Max Planck Institute of Demographic Research (MPIDR). … this book is strongly recommended for all those interested in ageing and longevity, that is, for probably most of us.” (Guillaume Wunsch, European Journal of Population, Vol. 27, 2011)“This text contains 16 Chapters in three Sections. Within the sixteen chapters are ten nation-specific reports on how the local demographers gather, verify and analyze data on supercentenarians (those aged 110 or more). The book’s focus is very well defined. … It will be of interest only to those who themselves study mortality among the very old. While more interesting books can, and have been written on the topic, this is a very serious and detailed treatise.” (Robert L. Brown, Canadian Studies in Population, Vol. 39 (1-2), Spring/Summer, 2012)

'Katritzky's main focus is on plays and players, but the author's assiduous research has assembled as much as could be hoped for on the extremely elusive presence of women in early modern performative medicine. This detailed study provides a storehouse of invaluable information, as well as decisive interventions in debates over the nature of early modern theatre.'  Margaret Pelling, University of Oxford  ’... impressively researched... A brief review can only suggest the wealth of examples and the depth of research that make this 'gendered' history of early modern theatrical practice an indispensable work in the field... the rich cultural context Katritzky provides makes the book a valuable resource for those engaged in more specialized studies.’  Renaissance Quarterly  ’M. A. Katritzky's Women, Medicine and Theatre presents a fascinating wealth of visual and textual evidence signally important connections between women's roles in the theatricality of itinerant medical practitioners (mountebanks or quacks), and more literary or professional dramatic practice. ... Offering material that crosses European national borders, with particular focus on the Italian, English and German-speaking traditions, the book is spatially as well as temporally broad in scope, with good reason. ... Indeed, anyone with primary interest in a single national theatre, say in Shakespeare's England, should be attentive to Professor katritzky's evidence pointing toward much more entangled international practices.  Her comparative and interdisciplinary approach is both exciting and welcome.’ Cahiers Elisabéthains  ’In an era when many scholars seem to do everything they can to avoid archives, this scholar dives into them not only with energy and persistence, but with the tools necessary to evaluate and communicate what she finds.  Her bibliographies are treasure troves, especially of things German.  She also has amassed a remarkable catalog of visual resources, including many in priva

From the reviews:
Philosophy and Design: From Engineering to Architecture is a significant contribution to the expanding field of design studies. It brings questions of design into philosophy and thereby brings diverse philosophical perspectives to bear on conceptual, methodological, epistemological, metaphysical, and ethical issues of design. It is also the first collection of philosophical papers to bridge the divide between critical reflections on design in engineering and in architecture. After the publication of this well edited collection, it will be difficult for philosophy to ignore design as a theme as worthy of attention as such phenomena as scientific theory, aesthetic creativity, or political law. Indeed, as a phenomenon design may well span theory, creativity, and law in ways that can contribute to a deeper understanding of each and to their mutual relations. In addition, this collection is to be commended for the interdisciplinary character of many of its contributions and the multinational perspectives provided by its diverse contributors from Europe, North America, and Japan.

He also serves on the adjunct faculty of the European Graduate School and the Center for Science and Technology Policy Research at the University of Colorado, Boulder. His “Thinking through Technology: The Path between Engineering and Philosophy” (1994) is a widely respected contribution; more recently he served as editor-in-chief of the 4-volume “Encyclopedia of Science, Technology, and Ethics” (2005).
"It offers a rich palette of essays and those who will read it, will get a good impression of the sort of themes and issues that are addressed now in this specific branch of philosophy. … Although this book was written by philosophers … it is well accessible to non-philosophers. … I warmly recommend the book to technology educators, in particular those that work in research or teacher education and can use it to enrich teacher education programs with insights from the philosophy of technology."
