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:
This book examines the industrial ecology of 200 years of ironmaking with renewal energy resources in northwestern Connecticut. It focuses on the cultural context of people's decisions about technology and the environment, and the gradual transition they effected in their land from industrial landscape to pastoral countryside.
Gordon illustrates his argument that cultural values of moderation, liberal education, and provincialism led owners and artisans to concentrate on high-quality, low-volume iron and steel with detailed examples, maps, and charts. He excels at describing individual actions and technical processes.
