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.

This book explores living heritage through nomadic heritage in Inner Mongolia, China. Using a critical heritage approach, it examines how heritage is understood and enacted within changing communities and shifting lifestyles, revealing the dynamic nature of nomadic cultural heritage.
This book critically re-examines nomadic heritage, capturing socio-cultural transformations and engaging in an ontological inquiry into living heritage. By bridging theory and practice, as well as tangible and intangible heritage, it redefines heritage?s intrinsic logic in a changing world. Focusing on the ger, a dwelling central to Mongolian nomadic life, it analyses the continuity and transformation of ger practices. Using ethnographic research, it highlights the human-material-environment dynamic and the agency of multiple stakeholders in shaping heritage.
This work is a key contribution to living heritage and nomadic heritage studies, offering valuable insights for scholars, professionals and those interested in nomadic culture.
