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.

Long description:
The fourth edition of this textbook provides a thoroughly updated and comprehensive introduction to contemporary and classic research and theories of family communication and family relationships.
In a language that is understandable to a broad range of readers, this book imparts what is known about family communication from the most current and highest quality research that is available from around the world. The authors bring the perspective of active researchers who strive to stay current on the latest research in the communication field as well as in allied disciplines. New to this edition:
- Research on how couples foster intimacy and maintain their relationships.
- Parenting styles that are associated with the best child outcomes.
- How family interaction is related to mental and physical health.
- Findings on recently studied issues such as the so-called gray divorce trend and effects of technology or the COVID-19 pandemic on family ties.
This is an ideal text for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in family communication and family studies, while professionals who work with families and wish to be apprised of the latest research will also find this text useful.

Brian Ogolsky, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
“Segrin and Flora have done it again by assembling a comprehensive collection of the most prominent and contemporary family communication concepts. The authors provide thought-provoking explanations, witty concrete examples, and a constant awareness of multiple perspectives when approaching everyday family communication processes.”
Stephen M. Kromka, The University of Tampa, USA
"Segrin and Flora offer a comprehensive, up-to-date review of research on family communication that is engaging and eminently readable.
