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:
This book calls into question mainstream assumptions about adolescence that underlie many of our understandings in relation to sexual practices and drug use among the young. It provides a more complex view of the transition to adulthood as not merely biologically driven, but rather socially and culturally organized.
MoreLong description:
Sexual practices and drug use among the young are examined in this book, calling into question mainstream assumptions about ?adolescence?.
Bringing together a range of cross-cultural and cross-national contributions, the book reveals both similarities and important differences that mark sexuality and drug use among young in different social and cultural settings. In doing so, it allows the reader to build up a clearer understanding of the challenges that must be faced in public health and education if we are to develop programs and interventions that really serve the needs of young people.
The book will be of interest to professionals working with young people and is suitable for a wide range of multidisciplinary courses covering areas such as human sexuality, sex education, public health and social work.
'The book busts some myths and provides timely reinforcement of truths that world governments would rather avoid. It offers some ways forward, and reminds those of us who are too ready to sideline young people that they are fellow citizens.' - The Times Educational Supplement
'A useful starting point to locate evidence and research on a whol range of health issues and themes.' - Youth and Policy
