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.

Long description:
The main aim of this stimulating book is to demonstrate the inadequacy of a history that is always written by the winners'. Draws on original studies from Africa, North America, Australia and the Pacific in order to make the point. Emphasizes that archaeology has a crucial role to play in promoting a more balanced, eclectic approach to the past.
