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:
Homeless Heritage complements a growing body of literature that blends academic research findings with personal narrative to explain how archaeological approaches can be applied in the contemporary world, and details what homelessness in Britain in the first part of the twenty-first century is like.
MoreLong description:
Homeless Heritage describes the process of using archaeological methodologies to collaboratively document how contemporary homeless people use and experience the city.
Drawing on fieldwork undertaken in Bristol and York, the book first describes the way in which archaeological methods and theory have come to be usefully applied to the contemporary world, before exploring the historical development of the concept of homelessness. Working with homeless people, the author undertook surveys and two excavations of contemporary homeless sites, and the team co-curated two public heritage exhibitions - with surprising results.
Complementing a growing body of literature that details how collaborative and participatory heritage projects can give voice to marginalised groups, Homeless Heritage details what it means to be homeless in the twenty first century.
