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.

MoreLong description:
"How can social studies educators teach the ideals of democracy when its real-world practice is so deeply challenged? This volume provides a frank, research-based appraisal of how to navigate K-12 curriculum while examining the political and social conditions that cause democratic education to falter. Leading scholars in the field of social studies and civic education move beyond the ""paper democracy"" of standard textbooks to address modern issues like disinformation, authority, and digital discourse. Educators will find practical, proactive, and reactive strategies to help students develop the habits and skills necessary to resist authoritarianism and defend democratic norms. This volume offers a holistic approach to civic education with teacher resources for a fractious age. This is an essential guide for those ready to embrace the brave work of instilling democratic values in the ""now."" Key Features: Strategies for Combatting Disinformation: Offers actionable advice for playing defense against harmful misinformation and community suspicion.Real-World Governance: Compares textbook ideals with the undemocratic practices of the real world, such as persistent educational inequalities and the influence of billionaires.Discussion-Ready Content: Features tailored prompts for individual reflection, social studies methods courses, or professional development.Justice-Centered Pedagogy: Grounds democratic efforts in correcting flawed assumptions and prioritizing justice for those at the margins.Holistic Learning: Bridges the gap between political education and often messy political realities."
