TL;DR: The main advantage of the book is that the readers can be sure that the authors practice what they advocate, and the discussions on usability practices are both thorough and comprehensive.
Abstract: The main advantage of the book is that the readers can be sure that the authors practice what they advocate. The authors present the fruit of expertise gained through years of web usability and web design projects and practices. The direct and practical involvement of the authors in usability area is evident throughout the book, where practical tips and advice are given prime focus and attention. However, though the discussions on usability practices are both thorough and comprehensive, the book does not seem to pay too much attention to the theoretical aspects of usability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that critical performativity is flawed as it misreads foundational performativity authors, such as Austin and Butler, in ways that nullify their political potential and ignores a range of other influential theories of performativity.
Abstract: In recent years, we have witnessed the emergence of ‘critical performativity’, a concept designed to debate relationships between theory and practice and encourage practical interventions in organizational life. Notwithstanding its laudable ambition to stimulate discussion about engagement between critical management studies researchers and practitioners, we are concerned that critical performativity theory is flawed as it misreads foundational performativity authors, such as Austin and Butler, in ways that nullify their political potential, and ignores a range of other influential theories of performativity. It also overlooks the materiality of performativity. We review these limitations and then use three illustrations to sketch out a possible alternative conceptualization of performativity. This alternative approach, which builds on Butler’s and Callon’s work on performativity, recognizes that performativity is about the constitution of subjects, is an inherently material and discursive construct, and happens through the political engineering of sociomaterial agencements. We argue that such an approach – a political theory of organizational performativity – is more likely to deliver on both theoretical and practical fronts than the concept of critical performativity.
