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:
First published in 1973, this textbook was designed to provide medical students and other trainees with an introduction to the principles of public health with special reference to the situation in developing countries of the tropics. The book stresses basic principles illustrated by selected examples. Infectious diseases feature strongly and diseases are grouped epidemiologically, based on the mode of transmission and the public health approaches for their control. The authors also highlight the global epidemiology of Type II diabetes and the effects of smoking as examples of the growing incidence of chronic disease in developing countries.
Long description:
First published in 1973, Short Textbook of Public Health Medicine for the Tropics, Fourth Edition was designed to provide medical students and other trainees with an introduction to the principles of public health with special reference to the situation in developing countries of the tropics.
Rather than attempting to provide a detailed comprehensive account, the book retains the approach from earlier editions that stresses basic principles illustrated by selected examples.
Infectious diseases feature strongly in the textbook and diseases are grouped epidemiologically, based on the mode of transmission and the public health approaches for their control. This fourth edition also highlights the global epidemiology of Type II diabetes and effects from smoking as examples of the growing incidence of chronic disease in developing countries.
Written primarily for the developing world, the book recognizes the wide diversity in the situation in developing countries and stresses basic principles that can be adapted to local situations.
