This is an excellent and extremely informative book ... This book
will be especially valuable to undergraduate students at the
beginning of their higher education i.e. 1st and 2nd years, who
wish to develop basic understanding and skills in the field of
wearable electronics. The strength of this publication lies in its
diversity which makes it attractive not only to fashion students,
but also to students undertaking courses in product design and
other relevant creative disciplines. Another strength of this
publication is its layout and visual organisation, which is
interesting and engaging, yet easy to follow and navigate. Overall,
I would strongly recommend this publication to students and
academics, with little or no previous experience in the field but
who would like to learn how to plan, organise and deliver a project
incorporating textiles and electronics.
