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:
This uniquely valuable resource helps readers translate research on nutrition in chronic diseases and developmental disorders of children into clinical practice. It provides a wealth of information on the nutritional implications of diseases' states; how nutrition can affect brain development, learning and behavior; and how to improve the health status of pediatric patients through nutritional measures. The Second Edition has been thoroughly updated and includes
new chapters on botanicals, genetics and nutritional aspects of birth defects, vegetarianism, obesity/eating disorders, autism, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, among other topics. A reviewer of the First Edition wrote that, "This work is without parallel." That remains true.
Long description:
This much-needed resource comprehensively reviews the current status of research on nutrition in chronic diseases and developmental disorders of children and helps translate this research into clinical practice. It provides a wealth of information on the nutritional implications of diseases' states; how nutrition can affect brain development, learning and behaviour; and how to improve the health status of paediatric patients through nutritional measures. Assessment,
prevention, and treatment are all covered. The chapters focus on biochemical and clinical abnormalities, techniques for evaluating nutrition including behaviour, nutritional management, and follow-up procedures. Well-organized and user-friendly, the book will continue to be of great value to
paediatricians, nutritionists, gastroenterologists, neurologists, family practitioners, and dieticians as well as students and residents in those fields. The second edition has been thoroughly updated and includes new chapters on botanicals, genetics and nutritional aspects of birth defects, vegetarianism, obesity/eating disorders, autism, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, among other topics.
