Founded in 1992 by Des Cole and Phil Garnsworthy, the press specialised in scientific and technical publishing, particularly in the areas of animal and food science (in line with the university's strengths). In 2012, NUP was purchased by 5m Publishing. References. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nottingham_University_Press
