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:
"Obiakor poignantly bestows upon us the infinite wisdom of culturally diverse peoples that has been passed down from generation to generation. At the same time, he provides interpretations that challenge us to rethink traditional school leadership and teaching styles in ways that lead to transformed educational practices for all learners?adults and children alike?in an age of accountability and reform."

Traditional wisdom to inspire and enrich your teaching and leadership!
This thought-provoking book presents wise sayings from different continents, countries, tribes, and religions?proverbs that have had a historical impact on the building of communities and that continue to influence present-day events.
Believing that the complexity of the world's problems calls for new ways of thinking, discussing, sharing, teaching, and learning, the author focuses on the implications that these proverbs have for interpersonal communication and cooperation in today's society.
Ideal for teachers and administrators, this illuminating text offers thoughtful reflection about:
- Self-responsibility
- Collaboration and consultation
- Spirituality
- General life lessons
"A rich, lively, and positive commentary on our global cultures. Obiakor's selection of proverbs and the conceptual framework for the book is, to say the least, powerful. Equally impressive and effective are his brief interpretations and prescriptions for the appropriate use of these proverbs for those involved in education, leadership, and service provision." More
