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:
First published in 2013, Maritime Heritage of Gujarat, Kathiawad and Kutch spans over four thousand years, uncovering the region’s maritime traditions dating back to the Indus Valley Civilization. Marine archaeological excavations have revealed artifacts that highlight Gujarat’s ancient trade links with Egypt, Mesopotamia, Bahrain, and others. The state’s maritime legacy is reflected not only in archaeological findings but in literature, sculptures, memorial stones (palayas), boat-building traditions, seamen’s manuals (pothis), daily accounts (roznamas), living practices, customs, trade accounts, and others.
Situated on India’s northwestern coast, Gujarat is the country’s principal maritime state, with a strategic 1600 km coastline—one-third of India’s total—offering proximity to the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Pakistan. Today, the Gulf of Kutch and Gulf of Khambhat are emerging as industrial and energy hubs for the state and the nation.
This book is ideal for maritime historians, cultural scholars, and readers interested in Gujarat’s rich coastal heritage.
