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:
Describes Polarization of Light and Astronomical Observation in a mostly qualitative way so both professional and amateur astronomers may benefit from this book. Numerous references are also provided.
MoreLong description:
Light that is received from celestial bodies is polarized any time that an asymmetry occurs at the stage of emission or during the transfer of radiation towards the observer. Polarimetry therefore allows the acquisition of useful data that would be difficult to obtain using other methods in various astrophysical situations: surface and atmosphere of the Sun and the stars, detection of magnetic fields. For the first time, these different fields of study are presented from the same perspective, highlighting the common logic of all polarization phenomena. They are described in a mostly qualitative way, with as few mathematical formulas as possible, so both professional and amateur astronomers may benefit from this reading. Numerous references including the most recent works allow the reader to go deeper into the field.
