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:
Written by a leading textbook author with a background in American foreign policy and international relations, America's Politics is the first introductory American government text with a theme of globalization and diversity.
"Globalizing the curriculum" has become a mantra throughout APSA and the American university system, and "Demography is destiny" is also resonating widely from coast to coast. Addressing both of these trends, author John T. Rourke weaves them into the story of U.S. national government in a compact, affordable, and pedagogically rich text.
FEATURES:
* Tells the fascinating "story" of politics while also covering major theoretical political science approaches and controversies
* Incorporates unique text boxes and insets: "You Decide," "A World of Difference," and "American Diversity"
* Includes opening outlines, closing summaries, highlighted key terms, and glossaries for each chapter
