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:
This book sets out to develop a new framework for the analysis of disaster situations in developing countries. In doing so, it challenges many of the accepted wisdoms of disaster theory upon which policy prescriptions are built.
The author insists that although disasters are a problem of development, they are not necessarily a problem for development. What we should be looking at are the underlying social and economic processes within developing countries which structure the impact of natural disasters, rather than at disasters as unforeseen events requiring large scale intervention.
`The Political Economy of Large Natural Disasters is an impressive piece of work. It is a provocative, revisionist contribution to the study of the economics of disaster, a subject of coming importance ... required reading for officials and those associated with relief agencies ... the volume also offers material to social scientists anxious to apply public choice theory constructs to the analysis of policy formulation and application in developing societies.'
