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.

MoreLong description:
Assuming no prior knowledge or experience, this textbook provides an up to date introduction to the key concepts and issues within the field of learning and development.
Blending key theories and concepts with a practical approach, the text covers the core areas that line managers and HRD practitioners need to know in order to design, implement and evaluate formal training interventions. In addition to these core areas, more contemporary issues such as learning and development within small and medium sized enterprises, and the sharing and management of knowledge are outlined.
The textbook draws on a wide range of features to ensure and encourage learning and understanding. Within each chapter key concepts are introduced at the start of each chapter; other features include 'hints and tips' boxes, 'practitioner perspectives', and end of chapter case studies, and chapter revision questions. There is also a supporting online resource centre providing resources for students and lecturers.

Having reviewed the first four chapters, this recent material gives a clear indication of the contribution that this text will make to the field. Chapters five to nine get into the 'nuts and bolts' of the subject and in my view, do so in a way that will appeal to undergraduates and postgraduate readership who may be coming to the topic for the first time. The examples provided are excellent illustrations of theory in practice for what can often be presented as a very dry topic, delivered in a prescriptive, 'to-do' list fashion.
