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 aims to increase understanding of the reasoning processes that apply to geographic space and time. The essays were contributed by scholars from such disciplines as geography, cartography, surveying and engineering, computer science, mathematics, and environmental and cognitive psychology. The book is vidied into three parts. Section I looks at computational science perspectives on spatial and temporal reasoning in a GIS context. Section II treats spatial and temporal cognition, and Section III explores spatial and temporal behaviors in various social science frameworks.
MoreLong description:
In an effort to further investigation into critical development facets of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), this book explores the reasoning processes that apply to geographic space and time. As a result of an iniative sponsored by the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCGIA), it treats the computational, cognitive and social science applications aspects of spatial and temporal reasoning in GIS. Essays were contributed by scholars from a broad spectrum of disciplines including: geography, cartography, surveying and engineering, computer science, mathematics and environmental and cognitive psychology.
The book provides an overview of spatial temporal research related to GIS... the extensive reference list at the end of each chapter is a valuable starting point for the search for more in-depth understanding on space-time issues. - Menno-Jan Kraak. GIS Europe. December 1998.
