    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:

    The second edition of the book provides a clear and concise vision of why research proposals are necessary, what proposals need to include, and how to write a successful proposal. In essence, then, it offers a practical guide. But it also explains the rationale behind research proposals and, in this sense, includes a distinctive theoretical basis for research proposals that is largely overlooked by other books on the subject. This helps students by arming them with a better understanding of the task they are undertaking. The book is structured around the seven core elements of research proposals, something which gives it a distinctive identity. The logical progression from one element to the next is easy for readers to follow, each acting as a stepping stone towards the production of a well-articulated proposal. The third edition will continue to use a clear, jargon-free style of writing coupled with a visually attractive layout and the use of illustrative examples.
