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.

MoreLong description:
The first true social history of the phenomenon known as New Age culture, Children of the New Age presents an overview of the diverse varieties of New Age belief and practice from the 1930s to the present day. Drawing on original ethnographic research and rarely seen archival material, it calls into question the assumption that the New Age is a discrete and unified 'movement', and reveals the unities and fractures evident in contemporary New Age practice.
'Some texts are genuine gifts to the scholarly community ... Steven Sutcliffe's Children of the New Age is just such a work ... That Children of the New AGe provides the most subtle and informed account of the phenomena to date is to be welcomed.' - Journal of Contemporary Religion
'[Sutcliffe] is objective but sympathetic, critical without being judgmental, and his text is invested with the authority that comes form personal field research and the intelligent use of public and private archives.' - The Christian Parapsychologist
'Stephen Sutcliffe has provided us with a useful contribution to our knowledge of contemporary spiritualities in Children of the New Age.' - Ron Geaves
'This study by Dr Sutcliffe is an insightful contribution tothe 'New Age' phenomenon that will be of real interest to libraries and individual scholars.' - Studies in World Christianity: The Edinburgh Review of Theology and Religion, Issue 9.2
