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.

'...a comprehensive collection of some of the most profound conceptual and empirical articles on the economics of land. As if this were not good enough, the authors help to situate the chapters in the broader context-helping us to see the intellectual origins of each chapter, as well as the implications of each contribution for other aspects of the domain under study. The value added by this approach is enormous-rendering an otherwise excellent undertaking even more compelling'. Professor Daniel W. Bromley, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA '.....Professors Parks and Hardie have chosen to highlight studies that not only provide a broad perspective and illustrate the best modeling tools available, but, above all, a literature that begins to plot a course for future innovation in thinking about how society can better implement land-use planning to achieve its various objectives.' Professor G. Cornelis van Kooten, University of Victoria, Canada '...the book is very useful for environmental and agricultural economists, although there are also some essays that could be of some interest for urban economists and for people interested in land use, e.g. urban and regional planners.' International Journal of Environment and Pollution
