    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:

    Part of the bestselling Making Sense series, this fifth edition of Making Sense in Engineering and the Technical Sciences is an indispensable research and writing guide for students in any area of the discipline - from electrical and mechanical engineering to systems design and computer science.

    I'm very happy with the Northey and Jewinski text . . . A major benefit is that we can recommend one text to students at an early stage of their education and then refer to it throughout their training. And it provides an excellent basic schema for writing lab reports, with plenty of advanced concepts in the later chapters too."
