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.

Short description:
This is the first book in any language that attempts to make an academic study of three sophisticated devices known as sanshi, used in the Chinese astronomical bureau in the 11th century.
MoreLong description:
Though there are a number of well-written works on Chinese divination, there are none that deal with the three sophisticated devices that were employed by the Chinese Astronomical Bureau in the eleventh century and for hundreds of years thereafter. Chinese experts applied the methods associated with these devices to both weather forecasting and to the interpretation of human affairs.
Hidden by a veil of secrecy, these methods have always been relatively little known other than by their names. The first work in any language to explore these three methods, known as sanshi (three cosmic boards), this book sheds light on a topic which has been shrouded in mystery for centuries, having been kept secret for many years by the Chinese Astronomical Bureau.
'Ho Peng Yoke's Chinese Mathematical Astrology proves to be an interesting work that will fascinate a wide spectrum of readers, for it offers an insightful and detailed reconstruction without sacrificing conciseness and clarity.' - East Asian Science, Technology, and Medicine (Number 23, 2005) More
