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:
"
Spanning millennia of history and ecological transformation, this book explores the forested and non-forested ecosystems of the Southern Appalachians and Interior Highlands regions of the United States. It examines their fauna and flora, highlighting both shared and regionally distinct species.
The volume provides a comprehensive treatment of the terrestrial biota, with chapters devoted to forest composition, vegetation structure, and fungal diversity. Additional chapters focus on the vertebrate and invertebrate fauna of the Appalachians and Ozarks, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and non-insect arthropods.
Beyond taxonomy and ecology, the authors investigate the historical and contemporary forces that have shaped these landscapes—from the Woodland Period and European colonization to industrial exploitation and modern conservation efforts. Particular attention is given to the ecological impacts of logging, mining, invasive pathogens, and climate change, as well as to the resilience and vulnerability of these ecosystems.
Rich in detail and imagery, and grounded in scientific rigor, this volume is an essential resource for ecologists, conservation biologists, forest managers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the ecological heritage and future of these two mountain regions.
