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:
Many of the common dental diseases are behavioural in origin, and are affected by individual lifestyles. Health promotion is therefore at the heart of preventing and controlling dental ill health. This is the first book to tackle this important new area of dentistry and presents theoretical and practical advice on a broad range of topics; including models and theories of health behaviour, influence of social factors on oral health promotion, government health policies, health education in specific settings, national campaigns, and evaluation of interventions. Here, the international contributers provide a broad overview of the subject which enables the reader to target sections of particular interest. Practical guidelines for the planning and implementation of oral health programmes presented will be invaluable for practitioners.
First-class book... Lone Schou and Anthony Blinkhorn have collected together contributions from well-known individuals on oral health matters around the world to produce a readable book of some 12 chapters. This provides a useful scientifically-based reference book with an international flavour, covering all aspects of oral health promotion. The editors and the contributors from Great Britain, America, Canada, Scandinavia and Australia are to be congratulated on filling a gap in dental literature. This book is a must for serious students of dental public health and other branches of dentistry in which oral health promotion is an important consideration. It brings together scientific knowledge, common sense and pratical advice on this complex subject. The book will also find a place on many dentists' bookshelves, as a valuable source of reference on oral health promotion.
