Testimonials:

"I am sure I'll find it very useful. The photos, flow charts and comparative property charts are especially nice." Frances Whitaker Mayhew, Ph.D., University of Delaware

"It has been a monumental undertaking for Dr. Shaw, and I believe it will take teaching to another level as we try to accomplish 'more with less.' A visual, interactive approach to teaching in the 21st century classroom." Kathy Wachter, Ph.D., University of Mississippi

"Anugrah has done a wonderful job in creating the "Textile Professor" !!!! In just glancing at the website, I am amazed at the wonderful links to definitions, thumbnail images that can be enlarged for better viewing, and captions with the thumbnail images to explain fabric components. The classification charts will be very beneficial for faculty and students alike!  ... Best of all -- I love dividing up the samples according to their uses. My interior design students especially will like the interior design fabrics separated from the apparel textiles -- and then those apparel textiles separated from household & institutional textiles. Thank you for sending a complimentary CD!  It will definitely enrich the teaching of Textiles by providing all faculty a wonderful teaching aid (not to mention study guide for students)!!!!" Debra McDowell, Ph.D., Southwest Missouri State University
