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:
This is a rich ethnography of traditional midwifery and medicalized reproduction as globalization touches an island.Focusing on Rhodes, an island that blends continuity with the past and rapid social change in often unexpected ways, the author paints a detailed portrait of how a longstanding system of ""local"" gynecological and obstetrical knowledge under the control of women was rapidly displaced in the postwar period, and how the technologically-intensive biomedical model that took its place in turn assumed its own distinctive signature.
