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:
Geomorphic Impacts of Earthquakes: Post-Seismic Landscape Evolution summarizes the full range of landscape alterations that can result from large earthquakes, ranging from slope instability and river aggradation to prograded coastlines. The book underpins the consequences of major earthquakes, which are increasing as Earth’s population burgeons and climate and anthropogenic effects are ongoing. Although the damage to society that results directly from the shaking and ground rupture in large earthquakes is well known, the consequential effects of seismicity on the landscape causes earth surface deformations and hazards that are only now being fully understood.
This book will help readers professionally engaged in the Earth sciences be better prepared to assess the full range of natural hazards that threaten particular locations, and to work out how to evaluate their contribution to societal risks.
