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 Hierarchies in Biological Systematics: A Conceptual Perspective examines the diverse hierarchies shaping the field of biology. From the overarching cognitive frameworks to the specific classifications that define biological taxonomy, this book is a comprehensive analysis of hierarchical structures and their inherent complexities.
Through a conceptual lens, the author explores the fundamental parameters of hierarchies, their fuzziness, and the principles guiding their substantiation, elaboration, and implementation. The book also delves into the ongoing debate between ranked and rankless taxonomic hierarchies, highlighting the author’s view of the unique rationality of ranked systems while critically assessing their limitations.
Whether you are a researcher, student, or professional in biological systematics, this book offers valuable insights into the conceptual underpinnings of hierarchical classifications and their role in advancing scientific understanding.
