Trade Review
"… a very comprehensive textbook that covers the interactions between humans, clothing, and the environment. The fundamentals of heat transfer modes, roles of textile mesostructures and macrostructures on heat transfer and air permeability, and modeling methodologies are covered in adequate depth. … an excellent source of knowledge for students and researchers working in the area of clothing comfort."
—Dr. Abhijit Majumdar, Associate Professor, Department of Textile Technology, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi
"… a very good systematic study about all the topics related to thermophysiological comfort in the indoor environment. … gives the fundamentals and enough experimental data, which can be used directly by researchers and students, as well as enough methods for numerical and experimental investigations for optimizing textiles."
—Dr. Yordan Kyosev, Professor, Hochschule Niederrhein – University of Applied Sciences, Mönchengladbach, Germany
