Green Chemistry for Sustainable Textiles: Modern Design and
Approaches provides a comprehensive survey of the latest methods in
green chemistry for the reduction of the textile industry's
environmental impact. In recent years industrial R&D has been
exploring more sustainable chemicals as well as eco-friendly
technologies in the textile wet processing chain, leading to a
range of new techniques for sustainable textile manufacture. This
book discusses and explores basic principles of green chemistry and
their implementation along with other aspects of cleaner production
strategies, as well as new and emerging textile technologies,
providing a comprehensive reference for readers at all levels.
Potential benefits to industry from the techniques covered in this
book include: Savings in water, energy and chemical consumption,
waste minimization as well as disposal cost reduction, and
production of high added value sustainable textile products to
satisfy consumer demands for comfort, safety, aesthetic, and
multi-functional performance properties.

This is an engaging and graceful book that relates the familiar
story of Moses in a new and thought-provoking way according to
Islamic traditional sources. It is interesting both because it
provides an unusual perspective on an old tale but also because it
provides a rare insight into true Islamic and Sufi thinking. It is
beautifully designed and enhanced with over 50 original and
colorful paintings. This is what others had to say about it: "In a
world in which resentment and hostility have replaced tolerance and
understanding - this lovely book speaks from the heart of
traditional Islam about the spiritual lessons to be drawn from the
story of the prophet Moses who unites us all." - Her Majesty Queen
Noor of Jordan "A truly beautiful book, well presented with
seemingly simple yet illuminating illustrations I was so immersed
in it that it was difficult to put down until the end Lessons
learnt from these stories retold encourage readers to reflect on
our own life journeys in our quest to reach the Divine Presence.
Indeed a must-read " - HH Raja Eleena binti Sultan Azlan Shah of
Perak, Malaysia "As one of the great scholars of Islam said, "The
Wisdom of Moses is manifold." And, indeed, the story of this
Prophet has accompanied mankind in so many different ways and was
told with so many intentions. He is mostly remembered for speaking
with God and for bringing his people into the presence of the
Divine. But his story was not only told to remember the joy of
being close to God, but also, and especially in recent times, to
convey the unwillingness to accept this closeness. This book tells
the story, not as someone wants it to be, but as it was given by
the Divine Storyteller Himself. Not as an expression of my or your
preferences, but as an invitation to reflect and as a means to
"make firm your heart." Because that is most needed. And that is
most excellently accomplished through "The Story of Moses" you have
before you, because its intention is not to impose but to serve." -
Steffen A.J. Stelzer, Chair of the Department of Philosophy, The
American University in Cairo
