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:
The new edition of this successful textbook provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the sensory systems from vision, through audition to touch, taste and smell. In each case the neural machinery relating sensation and perception is described and integrated with the physiological underpinning. An accompanying CD-ROM brings the perceptual phenomena to life to interest the student and help their understanding.
MoreLong description:
This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the sensory processes leading to perception, with an emphasis on the physiological bases for the phenomena. The visual system is discussed in depth, with parallels drawn in subsequent treatments of the auditory system, somatosensory and pain systems, gustatory system, and olfactory system. In each case, the discussion begins with the physical stimulus, progresses through anatomy and physiology, and concludes with perceptual
phenomenology. The intent is to be scholarly but accessible, engaging the undergraduate student with real-life examples and demonstrations while providing a firm stepping-off point for advanced students. This edition includes a CD containing a computer program that provides demonstrations and simulations to
explain, clarify and make accessible phenomena normally confined to the laboratory.
