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 is the first systematic account of social epidemiology, and it will be especially useful to graduate students of epidemiology, public health, and medical sociology. The authors emphasize methodological approaches in discussing the major social variables that affect health, such as socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, gender, working conditions, and scoial support. They draw widely from relevant disciplines such as sociology, psychology, physiology and medicine to describe the
conceptualization and measurement of each social variable, as well as the evidence linking them to a broad range of mental, physical, and behavioral health outcomes.
Long description:
The authors of this excellent text define social epidemiology as the epidemiologic study of the social distribution and social determinants of states of health, implying that the aim is to identify socio-environmental exposures which may be related to a broad range of physical and mental health outcomes. In the first systematic account of this field, they focus on methodological approaches but draw widely from related disciplines such as sociology, psychology, physiology, and
medicine in the effort to develop and evaluate testable hypotheses about the pathways between social conditions and health. The persistent patterns of social inequalities in health make this a timely publication.
