    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:

    This book examines how and why local governments are formed in the United States, and the interests that are served by their creation. Instead of lobbying for their interests within the boundaries of existing cities, Americans have increasingly created new `special districts' in the last 50 years. Due to the autonomy which local governments enjoy in the United States, the formation of these governments has an impact on the quality of life for many Americans, creating
    boundaries, mostly along race and class lines which have affected access to education, housing, and basic services.
