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:
Now available in paperback, this book concentrates on evolutionary change under environmental stress at levels ranging from the molecular to the biogeographic, with an emphasis on genetic aspects. This approach contrasts with much of the literature of evolutionary biology, as the emphasis here is upon the extreme end of the stress gradient in terms of resistance.
MoreLong description:
Now available in paper, this stimulating book concentrates on evolutionary change under environmental stress at levels ranging from the molecular to the biogeographic, with an emphasis on genetic aspects. This approach contrasts with most of the literature of evolutionary biology, as the emphasis here is upon the extreme end of the stress gradient in terms of resistance.
Major topics in this interdisciplinary book include the concept of stress and its evolutionary and ecological importance; genetic variation in stress response and the effects of stress on genetic variation; and costs and trade-offs involving stress responses. An approach to stress resistance in terms of energetics permits the development of links between genetics, ecology, physiology, and behaviour. The book concludes with applications concerning range expansions of species, conservation
strategies, and pollution effects.
'This major monograph presents a thoughtful scholarly and up-to-date approach to an important area of ecological genetics ... The book is well-structured, and the literature reviews in the individual chapters will be particularly useful.'
R.M. Sibly, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society (1993) 48
