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:
Written by a leading scholar in the field, this bestselling text offers an unparalleled analysis of the cultural industries.
MoreLong description:
Written by leading scholar David Hesmondhalgh, The Cultural Industries remains the definitive text for understanding the ever-evolving world of culture, creativity, and commerce. This textbook provides a coherent and accessible analysis of cultural industries, combining clarity with comprehensive coverage on an international scale.
In this new edition, David provides incisive updates to reflect today’s pressing issues, including:
- The emerging impact of generative Artificial Intelligence on cultural production and consumption;
- Problems surrounding the use of automated, AI-based systems and human curation to recommend cultural products to users;
- The increasing importance of social media creators and influencers;
- Refreshed and internationalised case studies, offering a more inclusive and diverse perspective.
Packed with real-world examples, The Cultural Industries equips readers with practical insights and critical frameworks to navigate this complex field. From students and educators to industry professionals, this text is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the forces shaping cultural production in the modern era.
The Cultural Industries is justly celebrated for many reasons, but what I find most compelling is the civic and moral passion that infuses every page. While never polemical, Hesmondhalgh makes clear why the making of culture matters and what’s at stake. With each new much-awaited edition, it is this quality that ensures the book’s timeless relevance.
