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.

Animals and Human Society: Impacts of Animals on People and People on Animals, Second editon provides a solid, scientific, research-based background to advance our understanding of how animals and humans interact and impact each other. Animals and humans have had profound effects on each other throughout human history, spanning all aspects of human society from agriculture, disease, culture, religion, companionship, entertainment, environment, and more. Developed by renowned experts Colin Scanes and Samia Toukhsati, this second edition features a new introductory chapter covering the biological concepts necessary for technical and non-technical audiences of this book. All first edition chapters have been revised to bring readers up to date on research advancements from the last decade, and novel chapters cover animal ethics, welfare, the basis of anthrozoology, zooarchaeology, and more. Guest essays further supplement updated chapter content by providing broad interdisciplinary and geographically diverse perspectives in the field. Animals and Human Society, Second Edition is an excellent resource for academics and industry professionals requiring fundamental information on the history and biology behind human-animal interactions, as well as interested laypersons looking to augment their knowledge on the many impacts of animals in human society.
