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.

Long description:
Appetite Interrupted: The Role of Predators in Shaping the Behavioral Ecology and Physiology of Satiety explores how mechanisms suppress feeding in vertebrates within both physiological and ecological contexts. Highlighting predation's role as a selective pressure, the book identifies novel neuroendocrine pathways through future research. Written by an expert, it systematically examines the behavioral ecology, evolutionary pressures, physiological processes, and stressors affecting foraging and feeding behaviors in vertebrates. The book covers why animals stop eating, selective pressures driving the evolution of hunger suppression mechanisms, and physiological controls inhibiting feeding, including stress, anxiety, and fear.
It concludes with humans' pathways and obesity evolution, offering practical applications for human nutrition.
Table of Contents:
1. Introduction
2. The ecology of eating
3. Is predation the cost for being fat?
4. Slow mechanisms for inhibiting eating: appetite, satiety and their control
5. Rapid mechanisms for inhibiting eating: worms, antiworms, and lasers, oh my
6. How stress, anxiety and fear affect eating
7. Predators and the evolution of obesity in humans
