Textile Development and Marketing Professor Ajoy Sarkar’s seminal book on textiles has reached its ninth edition. The Dictionary of Textiles, which Sarkar coauthored with Ingrid Johnson and Phyllis Tortora, was reissued by Fairchild Books in November. Published eight years since the previous edition, the tome now includes coverage of sustainability, smart materials, biobased textiles, 3D manufacturing, and other new technologies. The 570-page tome ranges from fibers to laws and regulations around textile processing to relevant business terms, and includes 400 illustrations.
