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