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:
An examination of the state and values of the American educational system that suggests the greatest crises facing American students is their ability to learn about democracy asnd self-governance. Barber argues that democracy and education in America are inextricably linked.
MoreLong description:
In this book, Benjamin Barber sets a new agenda for the debate over education in America. He argues that both sides of the current debate: the elistist, anti-democratic conservatives and the radical champions of Political Correctness have missed the point. He argues that rather than arguing over who should be taught, what should be taught, and how it should be paid for, education must be addressed as the well-spring of democracy in the United States. Education should instil in
students a commitment to community service, the literacy to live in a civil society, the competence to participate in democratic communities, the ability to think critically and deliberately in a pluralistic world, and empathy to help them understand their fellow citizens.
I want to compliment Professor Benjamin Barber for his leadership and service.
