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:
Beyond Compare: Addressing Issues in Comparative Osteological Research educates the reader on the range of confounding effects present in comparative skeletal analysis, also providing best-practice recommendations. The book aims to increase awareness of the various problems that arise when comparing skeletal data, and to equip the reader with the necessary tools needed to perform appropriate skeletal comparisons and generate the most accurate and defensible interpretations possible. This volume fulfills the need for a volume dedicated to the meta-analysis of the actual comparative methods commonly employed in bioarchaeology.
Bioarchaeologists have drawn on comparative methods from a variety of fields for their work, and although standards have been published for data collection, little has been published on the impact of comparison method selection on the results obtained and the subsequent interpretations made. This book fills that void for these professionals.
