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.

Short description:
Helps guide struggling students through all the complex topics being offered in Modern Physics courses with the tried and true DeMYSTiFied format and style, with hundreds of equations and sample problems.
MoreLong description:
Understanding modern physics just got relatively easy!
Students struggling through all the complex topics offered in modern physics courses will appreciate the guidance of the tried-and-true Demystified format and style--with hundreds of equations and sample problems.
Many of these topics featured in Modern Physics Demystified have not been covered before in any Demystified book, such as statistical physics, solid state physics, models of the atom, nuclear reactions, reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, and molecular physics. Veteran Demystified author David McMahon makes it easy to understand the challenging material.
