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:
Accessible, educationally rich, and full-color introduction to conservation genetics, fully updated in light of the genomics revolution.
MoreLong description:
The third edition of this essential introductory text has been fully updated in light of the genomics revolution. Providing authoritative and engaging coverage for students and professionals of conservation genetics and genomics, conservation biology, and wildlife biology, the authors explain the underpinning mathematics clearly and accessibly throughout. The critical link between theory and practice, so often obscured in applied genetics, is illuminated in each chapter through examples of diverse conservation issues (including strengthened plant coverage), the solutions needed, and detailed step-by-step guides on how genetic principles can be applied. Self-learning is further facilitated through problem sets with solutions, case studies, main point boxes, symbol and software lists, and approximately 600 engaging full-color photos and 300 graphics which relate genetic processes to species level conservation. Highlighting the interdependence between 'ecology' and 'genetics,' this text is educationally rich and visually stunning.
