    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 latest volume in the Biosocial Society Series, this book addresses the concept of adaptation. It has long been a concept in evolutionary biology and has recently become a major `focus' through sociobiology in the studies of animal behaviour. Set in a specifically human context, the book presents the way the adaptation concept has been used and the kinds of evidence that have been sought to test and develop it in different fields.

    'The comprehensive bibliographies included with the essays make this book particularly useful. Upper-division undergraduate through professional.'
    N. Krusko, Beloit College, Choice, Sept '94 - Vol. 32, No. 1
