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:
Scientific research is the ultimate tool in pushing forward the limit of our understanding. But, as with any tool, research is only powerful if used properly, and to its full effect.
Research Methods for the Biosciences demystifies the process of research to equip every biosciences student with the skills they need to get the most out of their investigations. Research isn't solely about experimental design; the book leads them through all the factors that, together, enable effective research. These include planning your experiment; data collection, analysis, interpretation, and reporting; and legal, ethical, and health & safety considerations.
Research is about engagement with the subject; with this in mind, Research Methods for the Biosciences includes a fully integrated web site, which motivates the student to fully consider the factors covered in the book, fostering understanding through active learning.
Research Methods for the Biosciences brings together as a coherent whole the knowledge and skills required of every good researcher, making it the essential resource for any biosciences student.
Online Resource Centre:
A fully interactive online component is an integral part of this resource. It features:
? Figures from the book available to download, to facilitate lecture preparation
? A totally flexible teaching and learning package, keyed directly to the text, featuring interactive tasks and exercises for both formative and summative assessment, and additional reference materials for both student and lecturer.
Well-organised and easy to read, Research Methods for the Biosciences is a useful tool for undergraduates, not to mention those involved in teaching in this field.
