Hands-down the best resource about all things related to cut protection
Daniel Li has written a masterful, comprehensive, and tremendously detailed compendium of all things related to cut protection. As someone who suffered a near-lethal laceration little more than a year ago, I am thrilled that this book has been published and I am convinced that it will advance the field markedly. I've scoured the internet, university libraries, and countless databases to research the mechanics of cuts and the fabrics that prevent them, and I only wish this book was published when I first began my work. I am currently working to design and develop fabrics which will offer the protection I am seeking for a very niche application, and I will continue to refer to this book as my main resource. I've nicknamed it my 'Cut Protection Bible' and I remain convinced that that is how it will come to be viewed for researchers in this field. Very much looking forward to the second edition!
