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.

MoreLong description:
The muscular dystrophies are an important group of inherited disorders. They are characterized by muscle wasting and weakness, but vary considerably in their clinical manifestations and severity.
This text reviews our understanding of the most important of these disorders. In many instances, the genes and protein products responsible for the dystrophies have been identified and it is now possible to establish a precise diagnosis, detect preclinical cases, identify carriers and offer prenatal diagnostic testing. The book goes on to describe the opportunities for management of the symptoms through respiratory care, physiotherapy and surgical correction of contractures, and examines the potential, in the future, for effective treatment utilizing the new techniques of gene and cell therapy.
Professor Emery has invited chapters from the leading international experts in the field providing a unique insight into the current situation and the hopes for the future.
This book is timely. Although there have of course been substantial developments in all areas of genetic disease, there can be few areas in which progress has been so rapid and has led to such fundamental shifts in practice, with respect to diagnostic strategy, and opinion with respect to the understanding of basic molecular mechanisms, than the muscular dystrophies . . . The book has just under 30 contributors, from all corners of the globe, all acknowledged experts in their field.
