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:
Human faces present complex visual patterns that mediate a rich variety of social activity including the recognition of individuals, the perception of emotion, and lipreading. In recent years considerable progress has been made in understanding how these complex images are interpreted by the brain, and in the development of computer systems for the processing, transmission, and graphical display of faces. This volume provides state-of-the-art reviews of the processes involved in perceiving and recognizing faces, with perspectives from neurophysiology, neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, and developmental psychology. It also includes contributions from engineering and computer science. The authors are internationally recognized experts drawn from these various disciplines, and they review their own recent contributions to the field. Much of the current impetus and excitement comes from the remarkable degree of communication and collaboration, often spanning traditional disciplinary boundaries, that characterizes this field of research which is well illustrated by the chapters assembled in this volume.
The 15 papers included in this volume are uniformly well written and informative. Together they constitute a comprehensive and scholarly summary of recent empirical and theoretical work on face perception. Although this volume will be of most interest to specialists working in face perception, nonspecialists in cognitive, developmental, and biological psychology should find the research and theoretical advances summarized in these papers of considerable interest ... most of the papers are written in an engaging and nontechnical style, so that individuals in applied areas (e.g. police science, law or cosmetic surgery) should find them informative as well.
