3 The Textile Institute is a unique organisation in textiles, clothing and footwear.
4 Incorporated in England by a Royal Charter granted in 1925, the Institute has
5 individual and corporate members in over 90 countries. The aim of the Institute is
6 to facilitate learning, recognise achievement, reward excellence and disseminate
7 information within the global textiles, clothing and footwear industries.
8 Historically, The Textile Institute has published books of interest to its members
9 and the textile industry. To maintain this policy, the Institute has entered into
10 partnership with Woodhead Publishing Limited to ensure that Institute members
1 and the textile industry continue to have access to high calibre titles on textile
2 science and technology.
3 Most Woodhead titles on textiles are now published in collaboration with The
4 Textile Institute. Through this arrangement, the Institute provides an Editorial
5 Board which advises Woodhead on appropriate titles for future publication and
6 suggests possible editors and authors for these books. Each book published under
7 this arrangement carries the Institute’s logo.
8 Woodhead books published in collaboration with The Textile Institute are
9 offered to Textile Institute members at a substantial discount. These books,
20 together with those published by The Textile Institute that are still in print, are
1 offered on the Woodhead web site at: www.woodheadpublishing.com . Textile
2 Institute books still in print are also available directly from the Institute’s web site
3 at: www.textileinstitutebooks.com
4 A list of Woodhead books on textiles science and technology, most of which
5 have been published in collaboration with the Textile Institute, can be found
6 towards the end of the contents pages.
