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:
This book provides a reference source for authors and investigators in the plant sciences, especially in plant physiology. The chapters give a thorough discussion of the International System of Units, plant names, statistics, plant biophysics, plant biochemistry and molecular biology, and plant growth and development. Numerous terms are defined. Three appendices recommend techniques of presentation. Edited by Frank B. Salisbury, the book was prepared by 27 specialists in various fields.
MoreLong description:
This book represents a beginning toward a concensus on units, symbols, and terminology in the plant sciences. Written by 27 specialists and reviewed by several others, each discussion is condensed for easy reference, but still thorough enough to answer virtually any question concerning plant terminology. Principles are outlined and covered in readable text. Some chapters include formulas and definitions of specialized terms, while others include recommendations for suitable units. The appendices offer guidelines on presenting scientific data, such as principles of grammar, oral and poster presentations, and reporting on data from experiments that utilized growth chambers. Anyone involved in the plant sciences, particularly plant physiology, will find this an invaluable reference.
I believe the book will be of great importance and should find a place on many a plant scientists' desk--and maybe even some other broadminded souls.
