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:
All Our Families, a project of the Berkeley Forum on the Family, takes a hard look at contemporary families and family structure. The book challenges the conventional wisdom that the American family is disintegrating. Its essays argue that comparing today's family to an imagined typical family of the past - stable, middle class, working father, stay-at-home mother, is dishonest and wrongheaded. Most American families are not, and never were, like that. In contrast, All Our Families considers seriously all of today's types of families, not just the "ideal" ones or the "failures". For the second edition, all essays have been revised and updated, and two new essays - one on immigrated families and one on ambiguous-father families - have been added.

All Our Families, a project of the Berkeley Forum on the Family, takes a hard look at contemporary families. The book challenges the conventional wisdom that American families are disintegrating. Its essays argue that comparing today's families to an imagined typical family of the past--stable, middle class, working father, stay-at-home mother, and two or three children--is dishonest and misleading. Most American families are not, and never were like that. In contrast, All Our Families considers seriously all of today's types of families, not just the "ideal" ones or the "failures."
In this second edition, the editors have revised existing chapters and added three new chapters on inter-racial families, immigrant families, and extended families.
