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:
Synthesizing fifteen years of experience using Life Histories students, grades five to university, this textbook provides a framework for deepening student understandings of text and promoting classroom engagement through collaborative writing and performance. Intended for undergraduate and graduate education students, as well as practicing teachers for grades five through twelve, this textbook supports both pre-service and in-service teachers in meeting the literacy needs of diverse students through culturally responsive teaching.
While practicing Life Histories, readers take on the persona of a character to write their stories and perform their narratives. In doing so, they develop empathy that helps them appreciate diverse human experiences as well as gain new and critical understandings about themselves and their world. Through Life Histories, students engage with diverse texts to make multi-layered analysis of readings, fostering empathy as well as artistic expression.
