Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Exploring the psychology of everyday behaviour, this book uses an evolutionary perspective to explain experiences that many people share and can easily relate to.
This book focuses on topics that are applicable to what people do and experience in their daily lives. Why do we choose the partners we do? Why do we laugh? Why is play so essential for children? Why are we drawn to stories, music, and sweet food? The book examines such topics as sex and relationships, humour, family dynamics, religion, and media and technology through an evolutionary psychology perspective, looking deep into the ancestral past to uncover the adaptive roots of modern life. In so doing, it reveals how ancient psychological mechanisms continue to shape daily choices, pleasures, fears and relationships. Each chapter can be read as a standalone topic or as part of a bigger exploration to understand why we do what we do.
Written in an accessible style and covering common human behaviours and experiences, this is the ideal book for undergraduate students in introductory modules, as well as more specific courses on such topics as Psychology of Sport, Psychology of Humour, and Psychology of Music. It will also appeal to anyone with an interest in psychological science looking to understand themselves and others.
