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.

The Asian elephant is now endangered, owing largely to loss of habitat. This volume presents researches on the ecology and management of the elephant in the wilds and in captivity in the last few decades, through papers presented at an international seminar on the ecology of the Asian elephant. Problems facing the elephant are also briefly described. The book contains many photographs and relevant diagrams and tables.
MoreLong description:
The Asian elephant, in spite of its close relationship with man in Asia since time immemorial, is now endangered, largely through loss of habitat. Over the years, a number of research projects on the ecology of the elephant have been initiated by various institutions and groups, including the Bombay Natural History Society.
This book is a compilation of these papers, dealing with different aspects of the Asian elephant; the philosophy of elephant conversation, the status of the Asian elephant, its conservation and management in the wilds and in captivity, and other kinds of research work, as well as notes on the African elephant. Numerous plates and relevant diagrams and tables supplement the text at various places. The work is essential reading for elephant ecologists, natural history enthusiasts and
environmentalists.
