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:
From a luminous new voice comes a joyful exploration of how nature marks time, and a call to notice the daily wonders of the natural world - from the honeysuckle flower whose aroma intensifies at dusk, to the fiddler crab that matches its rhythms to the lunar cycles.

'Fascinating and full of beauty' KATHERINE MAY, author of Wintering
'Reminds us that we get to choose where we focus our attention between one dawn and the next' TRISTAN GOOLEY, author of How to Read a Tree
'A quietly radical invitation to notice more, rush less and live deeper' DANIEL H. PINK, author of When
'Immaculately researched and beautifully written' LARA MAIKLEM, author of Mudlarking
A journey into the forgotten art of marking time through signs in the world around us - from the slow sliding of sunbeams to the wheeling of the stars.
Past generations would tell time by shadows shrinking, the midday glow over a mountaintop, the crowing of the rooster in the darkness. They noticed the flowers that close at noon, sensed how the quality of light changes at dusk, and marked time at night by the motion of the stars.
Today, in our clock-bound, screen-immersed world, most of us rely on machines to mark the hours. But what riches might we gain from reclaiming the forgotten art of sensing time by events in the living world?
Roaming from ancient downland to city streets, The Fullness of Time is an adventure in search of those patterns that once shaped the rhythm of our days - and an invitation to discover the simple, sensory joys of truly paying attention.
'A quietly radical invitation to notice more, rush less and live deeper' DANIEL H. PINK, author of When
