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.

The Fifth edition finds the text of The Central Nervous System thoroughly updated and revised, better equipping students with essential information in the field of clinical neuroscience. This text, reviewed to reflect new information as well as understanding of student needs for critical thinking, contains the systematic, in-depth coverage of topics of great clinical interest. This text seamlessly integrates data from all fields of neuroscience as well as clinical neurology and psychology. This textbook presents the functional properties of clinically-relevant disorders by incorporating data from molecular biology to clinical neurology.
Key Features of the Fifth Edition Include...
· Chapters knit together by numerous cross-references and explanations, helping the reader to connect data.
· Carefully selected full color line drawings of the complexities of the nervous system.
· Extensive use of text-boxes provides in-depth material without disturbing the flow of reading.
· Provides a crucial list of references for further reading.
While most neurological textbooks are cobbled together by multiple authors on a variety of topics within the field, Dr. Brodal pulls together a cohesive and comprehensive guide to neuroscience. This book reflects Dr. Brodal's concise and easy-to-read style, encouraging reflection and critical thinking in established facts and scientific conjecture. This is the perfect reference for medical, graduate, and undergraduate students alike.
In my view, The Central Nervous System is perhaps one of the most important books for students of neuroscience at all levels to own. If youre not a student, but you work in a field related to neuroscience, this book should be required reading. I would certainly recommend it without reservation.
