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 an introduction to sociology featuring a strong narrative component that incorporates extended examples and cases, making it a lively and engaging text. Taking a critical perspective, it exposes students to sociology by drawing from within and outside the sociological canon. Its approach reflects the diversity of the current college student body and allows students to make a personal connection to the material. This updated census edition includes an appendix of the most
recent Canadian census data.
Long description:
Elements of Sociology is designed as a core text for college classes in introductory sociology. Beginning with the earliest roots of sociology, including early thinkers not usually included in the sociological canon, the book examines how sociology looks at everyday life, including standard sociological areas of concern such as the family, deviance, and culture, as well as contemporary concerns such as the sociology of medicine and globalization. Critical-thinking questions
are integrated throughout the text; additional pedagogical material includes chapter objectives, further readings and websites, chapter summaries, end-of-chapter glossaries, and a CD containing additional resources. This updated census edition includes an appendix of the most recent Canadian census
data.
