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:
Eleven hundred million people live in China today, most of them directly involved with or economically dependent on agricultural production. To know about the peasants and the rural areas is to know much about China. This book, written by Chinese experts, sets the scene with a description of the natural environment. Within this context, the components of agriculture are examined separately before being brought together in a consideration of the ten agricultural
regions of China. Each region is described in detail with particular emphasis on the problems faced in each.
The economic reforms of 1979 onward have brought substantial changes, and these are discussed in detail. The book concludes with a summary of the characteristics and problems of Chinese agriculture and the prospects for the future as seen by a Chinese agronomist today.
'This book presents interesting and novel information for those readers seeking to learn about the agriculture of China. The text is clearly produced, and the figures and tables well laid out. Each part includes a list of relevant references. All in all, this is a valuable book for anyone interested in a better understanding of the many facets of Chinese agriculture.'
