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:
Parsimony analysis (cladistics) has long been one of the most widely used methods of phylogenetic inference in the fields of systematic and evolutionary biology. Moreover it has mathematical attributes that lend themselves for use with complex, genomic-scale data sets. This book demonstrates the potential that this powerful hierarchical data summarization method also has for both structural and functional comparative genomic research.

Parsimony analysis (cladistics) has long been one of the most widely used methods of phylogenetic inference in the fields of systematic and evolutionary biology. Moreover it has mathematical attributes that lend itself for use with complex, genomic-scale data sets. This book demonstrates the potential that this powerful hierarchical data summarization method also has for both structural and functional comparative genomic research.
There is a lot to consider in the book for practicing systematists, mostly issues of molecular systematics, ranging from DNA sequence alignment problems to those of the practicality of analysis of the enormous and ever increasing data sets that are generated by genomic approaches to phylogeny reconstruction.
Table of Contents:
Preface
Parsimony and phylogenetics in the genomic age
The philosophy of parsimony analysis, including comparison with model-based approaches
What is the rationale for 'Ockham's Razor' (a.k.a. parsimony) in phylogenetic inference?
Parsimony and its presuppositions
Parsimony, character analysis, and optimization of sequence characters
The logic of the data matrix in phylogenetic analysis
Alignment, dynamic homology, and optimization
Parsimony and the problem of inapplicables in sequence data
Computational limits of parsimony analysis: from historical aspects to competition with fast model-based approaches
The limits of conventional cladistic analysis
Parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetics
Mathematical attributes of parsimony
Maximum parsimony and the phylogenetic information in multi-state characters
