To commemorate Singapore's 50 years of nation-building, World Scientific is launching a book series of more than 25 volumes covering various important aspects of Singapore's development to bring readers through an informative reading journey on the challenging paths that the Singapore pioneers have so boldly charted. Experts who have championed or played significant roles in many of Singapore’s nation-building initiatives have come on board this exciting project to edit the individual volumes of the book series. All volumes will be scholarly, inspirational, and easy to read in order to reach out to a wide audience.
