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.

Over thirty years of input from instructors and students have gone into this popular research methods text, resulting in a refined ninth edition that is easier to read, understand, and apply than ever before. Using unintimidating language and real-world examples, it introduces students to the key concepts of evidence-based practice that they will use throughout their professional careers. It emphasizes both quantitative and qualitative approaches to research, data
collection methods, and data analysis, providing students with the tools they need to become evidence-based practitioners.
This book not only provides students of social work research the knowledge they need in their journey to become good social scientists, but also the tools to develop effective habits necessary towards this purpose. After all, as it has been said often: 'practice makes perfect.'
