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:
Limpopo Life introduces the reader to the material culture, oral histories, and the negotiation of conservation and landscape in an area now known as Limpopo National Park.
Introducing the archaeology of a region that has not been surveyed or discussed, this book connects to the archaeology, history, heritage and conservation discussions in the southern African region as a whole. Vegetation history and paleoecology are combined with archaeological surveys and excavations, written sources, oral histories and travelogues to draw a picture of the diverse landscape of the Limpopo region. Intermixed within this narrative are sections that focus on an individual species, a life history, or an event providing a view of the complex and dynamic interactions. The role of humans in this diverse environment and how they have co-evolved with other species, shaping each other's destinies in a consequential and accidental way, is outlined.
This book will be of interest to researchers and students interested in the archaeology, heritage and conservation of Mozambique, Zimbabwe and northern South Africa. It will also be of relevance to readers interested in the social history of the Limpopo and Kruger National Parks and this cross-border area.
