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:
Concepts in Reproduction integrates the principal mechanisms of reproduction among eukaryotes, with a focus on animals and plants. The text emphasizes processes and approaches that evolved to address specific problems inherent in reproduction using examples from morphology, functional studies, and genetic studies. The many high-quality figures complement the text and provide visual storyboards. Footnotes and boxes are used throughout to provide depth and to enrich understanding. Information is compartmentalized to guide new readers through complex material while offering in-depth coverage of significant and impactful topics for experts.
Key Features
● Accessibility for a broad audience, using figures that complement the text to explain key concepts and mechanisms
● Integrative presentation that emphasizes the science behind the story
● Breadth of coverage to promote comparative thought
● Rich multiple-choice questions that span the content
Concepts in Reproduction is recommended for advanced undergraduate students, new graduate students, and investigators or clinicians seeking breadth in their knowledge in the field. The book provides foundational knowledge of fertilization, gametogenesis, primordial germ cell formation, and ontogeny of reproductive organs. Key principles of developmental biology, genetics, endocrinology, protein biochemistry, and molecular and cellular biology are included to tell holistic stories of reproduction among eukaryotes. Later chapters tackle how the field applies these findings to address societal issues.
