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:
The impact of information technology is reviewed by scholars who are leading pioneers in the application of that technology to research in their disciplines. From both a general appreciation of their fields, and from their own personal research, they discuss whether this impact amounts to a paradigm shift, posing new research themes and new approaches.
Stemming from a conference organized by the British Academy in October 1996, this volume gives a unique overview of IT across a wide range of disciplines in both the humanities and the social sciences and provides a benchmark of the situation in the late 1990s from which future progress can be assessed.
