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:
Through an examination of online advocacy and social movements, social media, and traditional/electronic advocacy campaigns, Technology, Activism, and Social Justice in a Digital Age provides a fascinating look at the current practice and future of social change efforts.
MoreLong description:
Technology, Activism, and Social Justice in a Digital Age offers a close look at both the present nature and future prospects for social change. In particular, the text explores the cutting edge of technology and social change, while discussing developments in social media, civic technology, and leaderless organizations -- as well as more traditional approaches to social change. It effectively assembles a rich variety of perspectives to the issue of technology and social change; the featured authors are academics and practitioners (representing both new voices and experienced researchers) who share a common devotion to a future that is just, fair, and supportive of human potential. They come from the fields of social work, public administration, journalism, law, philanthropy, urban affairs, planning, and education, and their work builds upon 30-plus years of research. The authors' efforts to examine changing nature of social change organizations and the issues they face will help readers reflect upon modern advocacy, social change, and the potential to utilize technology in making a difference.
Technology, Activism, and Social Justice in a Digital Age is a helpful supplementary text for social work practice within organizations and communities. And because it is essential for social workers to effectively advocate for clients, the text offers students and educators a better understanding of the utilization of technology to further social change practice.
