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:
Following a timeless tradition of stargazers, cloud watchers, and dreamers ? Lucy Rogers shows us the wonder in looking up and discovering a whole world in action overhead.
'Lucy Rogers?s book, Up, does something genuinely amazing: she changes your perspective on life by encouraging you to tilt your head backwards and look ? really look ? at what is going on above us ... I learned so much from this book.' Tim Minshall, Dr John C Taylor Professor of Innovation at the University of Cambridge, and author of Your Life is Manufactured
'Entertaining and unusual' Tristan Gooley, author of The Walker's Guide to Outdoor Clues and Signs
The sky is a world of endless wonder. From the intricate dance of clouds and the vibrant hues of the aurora borealis to the marvel of effortless soaring birds and the silent majesty of the stars, it is a living storybook.
In Up, inventor and engineer Dr Lucy Rogers explores the beauty, science, and surprises of the world above.
Join her on a marvellous adventure through a kite market in India, creep through the Borneo jungle to witness millions of bats pour out of a cave at dusk, venture to Tornado Alley to chase the raw power of storms, and journey to Mexico to stand in awe of a total solar eclipse.
Up is for anyone who has ever paused to marvel at a shooting star, wondered about the ingenuity of human flight, or dreamed of touching a rainbow. Bringing rich insights, personal stories, and a very real sense of awe for the natural world, Dr Rogers explores the science behind these phenomena and reveals all there is to discover if you look Up.
'My only complaint about the writing of Lucy Rogers is that there isn't enough of it' Tim Radford, Guardian
