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:
This reference compiles a wide array of topics on public health nutrition with information on research, practice, and policy aimed at a variety of readers of all levels of knowledge about the field.
Public health nutrition is a broad subject and encompasses the prevention or reduction of those diseases where food and diet will have an impact. It has been argued that poor diet and nutrition have contributed to more deaths than many communicable diseases on a global scale. Whilst these are global aspects, considerations must be given to international, national and regional aspects of public health nutrition as each country has its own nutritional-risk profile, and this work addresses this need.
Each chapter includes special topical features to bridge the transintellectual and transdisciplinary divides across the wide field of public health nutrition. Readers acquire a general understanding of dietary and nutritional components of interest; learn about guidelines and recommendations for practice, procedures, and policy; and gain insight into applications to other areas of regional, national, or global public health highlighting the translational aspects of the material. A useful mini dictionary of terms is also provided in each contribution to aid the novice reader.
The Handbook of Public Health Nutrition: International, National, and Regional Perspectives is an important resource for nutritionists, public health workers, healthcare professionals, research scientists, the medical professions and other practitioners, policy makers, and institutional or governmental departments. It is also designed for teachers and lecturers, undergraduates, graduates, post-graduates, professors, institutional and governmental officials, and libraries.
