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:
'Turi King combines fascinating history and science with brilliant storytelling' - Professor Alice Roberts
From the award-winning scientist who identified the bones of Richard III in a Leicester carpark and genetically analysed Hitler, discover the myth-busting book that provides a window into the world of modern genetics and reveals the extraordinary true stories and mysteries solved using the power of DNA.
'A glimpse into the fascinating world of DNA under the guidance of a true expert. Always accessible, enjoyable and thought provoking. Who could ask for more?' - Professor Sue Black
Professor Turi King, takes us on a journey to understand the real science behind some of the world?s most famous crimes, from dead kings to modern murders, showing how DNA can both convict and exonerate. And moving from mistaken dinosaur DNA to Angelina Jolie?s BRCA1 gene, from eugenics to epigenetics, and the study of Hitler?s DNA, she explains how genetics informs every aspect of our lives, why it affects us all, and what it can ? and can?t tell you about who you are.
Fascinating, compassionate and entirely captivating, The Secrets of Our DNA shows us how we are all interconnected. It also reminds us that while our DNA can yield information about our predisposition to disease and other conditions, it need not be our destiny. We should all be a part of the discussion as to how incredible new genetic discoveries are utilized for the benefit of all life on earth.
