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:
Readers of all ages, especially those in school, use learning materials in print, on digital screens, and increasingly with audio. While the words may be the same, research shows important differences in the way we concentrate, understand, and remember with these three media. In How We Read Now, linguist and reading expert Naomi Baron presents cutting-edge research on reading media and offers practical strategies for maximizing success with each format.
MoreLong description:
An engaging and authoritative guide to the impact of reading medium on learning, from a foremost expert in the field
We face constant choices about how we read. Educators must select classroom materials. College students weigh their textbook options. Parents make decisions for their children. The digital revolution has transformed reading, and with the recent turn to remote learning, onscreen reading may seem like the only viable option. Yet selecting digital is often based on cost or convenience, not on educational evidence. Now more than ever it is imperative to understand how reading medium actually impacts learning--and what strategies we need in order to read effectively in all formats.
In How We Read Now, Naomi Baron draws on a wealth of knowledge and research to explain important differences in the way we concentrate, understand, and remember across multiple formats. Mobilizing work from international scholarship along with findings from her own studies of reading practices, Baron addresses key challenges--from student complaints that print is boring to the hazards of digital reading for critical thinking. Rather than arguing for one format over another, she explains how we read and learn in different settings, shedding new light on the current state of reading. The book then crucially connects research insights to concrete applications, offering practical approaches for maximizing learning with print, digital text, audio, and video.
Since screens and audio are now entrenched--and invaluable-platforms for reading, we need to rethink ways of helping readers at all stages use them more wisely. How We Read Now shows us how to do that.
Baron's work provides a weighted and critical description of printed and digital environments from an educational point of view, focusing on those factors of improvement that each of them entails. One of its main contributions is the introduction of audio and video analysis as complementary forms of reading that are becoming more and more important as the platforms for their use expand, and the services offered increase.
