The National University of Singapore Press is heir to a tradition of academic publishing in Singapore that dates back some 60 years, starting with the work of the Publishing Committee of the University of Malaya, beginning in 1954. Singapore University Press was created in 1971 as the publishing division of the University of Singapore. The University of Singapore merged with Nanyang University in 1980 to become the National University of Singapore, and in 2006 Singapore University Press was succeeded by NUS Press, bringing the name of the press in line with the name of the university. Our publishing mission is to enable the dissemination and creation of knowledge through the publishing of scholarly and academic books; and to empower learning, innovation and enterprise for the Singapore- and Asia-focused global community. All NUS Press books must be approved by a Publishing Committee, drawn from the ranks of the academic staff at the National University of Singapore. NUS Press is currently managed by Peter Schoppert. Previous Director Paul Kratoska remains onboard as Publishing Director.

It analyses in depth the option to create specific sui generis intellectual property rights of the TRIPS Agreement. It then discusses the ways to support the maintenance of information which cannot be allocated to specific authors, and examines alternative concepts within the trade of traditionally generated information and related products.
Experience the Miracle of Angels Angels emanate joy, lightness, and a grace of uplifting peace. Almost as if by their very touch, presence, or appearance, they reassure us that everything will be all right and unfolding according to a Divine plan. Tricia McCannon, a lifelong mystic, and spiritual teacher invites you to join her in understanding and marveling at the miracle of angels as they reach out to us as Divine messengers of love. Like the wonder, we feel when we look at the stars at night, angels speak to each of us at the level of our soul. Welcome the angels into your life as Tricia McCannon and selected sacred storytellers share their personal encounters with angels reminding us, we are living in a light-filled universe where anything is possible. Learn the ways angels appear to us and how you can deepen your relationship with them. Delve into the history and mystery of angelic lore and be inspired by accounts of famous angelic encounters that changed our world. The angels are at the heart of a celestial awakening, and when we call upon them, we begin to awaken the angelic nature within ourselves. ANGELS will uplift your soul. Their essence is love, their appearance is light, and their purpose is the healing and illumination of the world.

März 1946. In Blakendorf in der Lüneburger Heide versucht der Kriegsheimkehrer Schmidt sein Leben neu einzurichten. Er wird in eine Baracke eingewiesen, die auch zwei junge Flüchtlingsfrauen, Grete und Lore, bewohnen. Die Not ist so groß wie die Verachtung der Einheimischen für die Flüchtlinge. Gemeinsam versuchen sie, über die Runden zu kommen. Schmidt, der an einer Biografie über Fouqué arbeitet, beeindruckt die beiden Frauen, und schon bald entwickelt sich ein Liebesverhältnis mit Lore. Das Glück währt jedoch nicht lange, denn Lore nimmt das Heiratsangebot eines reichen Cousins an und emigriert nach Mexiko, um den materiellen Entbehrungen zu entfliehen.
»Alle Herrlichkeit« nennt Margrit Baur ihren jüngsten Roman und erzählt darin vom Leben dreier Frauen. »Nicht mehr jung, noch nicht alt« sind sie, wohnen in Zürich und heißen Lore, die eine Keramikkünstlerin ist, Regine, die als Konsum-Verkäuferin arbeitet - und Ruth, eine Malerin. Fluchtartig, wegen eines Mannes, der ihr »die Zuversicht zerschlagen hat«, ist Ruth nach Irland gereist - für die Freundin Lore und die Bekannte Regine bleiben eine Ansichtskarte und die herausfordernde Frage auch an das eigene Leben zurück: »Was ist mit Ruth?« In das »Fremd- und Alleinsein« während einer Reise des Sich-Wiederfindens ist Ruth aufgebrochen, in das ›Nachschreiben‹ dieses anderen Lebens Regine: Mit der Erinnerung an einen eigenen Irland-Aufenthalt, vor Karten und Bildbänden erzählt sie sich nächtelang an der Schreibmaschine die Reise eines anderen Menschen, auch um mit dieser Geschichte, die allmählich sich verselbständigt und in der Gelebtes und Erdachtes verschmelzen, die Freundin Lore zu trösten. Geschichtenflucht hieß der letzte Roman von Margrit Baur. Der neue Roman Alle Herrlichkeit nimmt in seinem kunstvoll vielschichtigen Erzählgewebe - in dem wie nebenbei auch das poetische Buch einer Reise durch irische Orte und Landschaften entsteht - das ureigene und kompromißlos eigenwillig gestaltete Thema dieser Schweizer Autorin wieder auf und weitet es in der Spannung von Aussprechen und Aussparen, Erzählen und Verschweigen aus.
