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.

As the first geographical study of interwar Britain, The Geography of Interwar Britain (originally published in 1988 and now with a new preface by the author) breaks new ground, incorporating original research and new interpretations of the work of historians and others within a geographical frame of reference.
The central argument of the book is that the state in interwar Britain intensified uneven capitalist development. State actions in many important fields, including macro-economic policy, defence, industrial rationalisation, labour and unemployment policy, local government and regional policy, are analysed in detail. These studies show that, until the later 1930s, state policies worked to the disadvantage of depressed ‘outer’ Britain and favoured the more prosperous south and midlands. However, shifts in state policies were apparent as rearmament and changes in macro-economic policies necessitated new approaches. Significantly the first stages in the creation of what became the post-1945 political consensus were evident at this time, particularly in regional and industrial location policy.
The book will be of interest to geographers, economic and social historians, political scientists, sociologists, and planners.
