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.

Long description:
What is television’s capacity to elicit empathy?
This book, Television and Empathy, brings together responses from a range of international scholars and interdisciplinary approaches.
Television’s serialised form, ensemble casts and depth of storytelling has long granted viewers extended access to a diversity of perspectives. Meanwhile, interactive online technologies and platforms increasingly promise more personal and collective relationships with the small screen than ever before. With chapters exploring series from the UK and US, Australia, Iceland, Netherlands, South Korea and Spain, this cutting-edge collection responds to this juncture of television and affective theory.
This collection is essential reading for upper undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers working in screen studies and audience studies, cognitive media theory, digital and cultural studies and psychology
