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:
Tackles the meaning, significance and value of teaching American Studies in UK higher education.
MoreLong description:
Exploring the varied approaches to teaching American Studies in Britain today, the contributors in this volume examine how we can use critical pedagogies to empower our students to disrupt the status quo, challenge boundaries and see the United States—and the world—from new perspectives. Using a range of formats, including essays, case studies and dialogues, it explores what American Studies methodologies mean to both staff and students in UK higher education, and the possibilities that they offer in the classroom and beyond.
