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:
Presidents and the American Presidency engages students in the study of the presidency through an exploration of both the political institution and the men who have held the office. Considering both the strengths and the weaknesses of the office, authors Lori Cox Han and Diane J. Heith move beyond purely theoretical analysis to examine the real-life, day-to-day responsibilities and challenges that go with the job.
FEATURES:
* Incorporates archival documents from multiple administrations—in a "Then and Now" format—that reveal the inner workings of the White House and animate the discussions from the perspective of the presidents and other political actors
* Offers extensive coverage of methodology, teaching students how to analyze the institution
* Develops critical-thinking skills by integrating both institutional and president-centered approaches
* Includes an in-depth discussion of campaign finance as an essential part of electing presidents
This full-coverage introductory text gives students the ability to evaluate the individual and the institution by learning the importance of evaluating critical primary source materials.
