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.

Short description:
An interdisciplinary exploration of ideas of measure and how they interact with concepts of time in philosophy, literature, the visual arts, myth and culture, and the natural sciences, from socio-biology to quantum physics.
MoreLong description:
This volume of essays explores ideas of time and the measure of time, looking at how these vary and interact across disciplines, from J. T. Fraser?s hierarchical theory of time to phenomenology, considering Thoreau alongside Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, to the influence of a garden on Leibniz, to chronobiology and a consideration of postmodern, probabilistic measures of time. We look as well at human measures of time in Kazakh musical storytelling and medieval Japanese legend and turn finally to prose-poetry, video installation, and moving image art, along with considerations of Graham Swift and Ted Chiang?s modern novelistic explorations of time?s measure.
Contributors are Raji Steineck, Lanei Rodemeyer, Walter Schweidler, Paul Harris, Fredrick Turner, Arkadiusz Misztal, Kerstin Cuhls, Ritsuko Matsumura, Daniela Tan, Xiaoshi Wie, Chloe Garcia Roberts, Sanyogita Singh, Jo Alyson Parker, Karen Heald and Emily DiCarlo.
