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.

Short description:
The book presents the leading researchers and their seminal discoveries in the field.
MoreLong description:
In the eighteenth century the phenomenon of animal regeneration captured the attention and imagination of the era's leading naturalists and intellectuals. Importantly, their research of the phenomenon spurred on the transition from descriptive natural history to modern experimental zoology. A History of Regeneration Research chronicles this crucial evolutionary stretch in the history of developmental biology, offering a penetrating analysis of the milestones in regeneration research. The book not only presents the leading researchers and their seminal discoveries in the field, but also brings together critical commentaries on the social context and philosophical commitments that shaded their interpretations. This strategic weaving of content with context raises the discussion above the field of regeneration research; exploring the societal influences on the perception of nature, the book sheds light on the nature of the scientific enterprise itself, and the way scientific discoveries are interpreted.
"...chronicles this crucial evolutionary stretch in the history of developmental biology and offers an insightful analysis of the milestones of regeneration research. The book not only discusses the leading researchers and their seminal discoveries in the field but also brings together critical commentaries on the social content and philosophical commitments that shaded their interpretation. Opening new ground, A History of Regeneration Research will be of great interest to scientists, as well as to historians of science." Biology Digest
