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:
Mars has always held a special interest because of the possibility that life may have existed there. In this book Dr Carr summarizes the history of water on Mars. He highlights problems confronted, addressing them from the records of morphology of the surface and the chemistry and mineralogy of some near-surface rocks, and revealed in meteorites originating on Mars. The book is well illustrated with imagery from the Viking missions.
MoreLong description:
Mars has always held a special interest because of the possibility that life may have existed there. The story of water on Mars is crucial for understanding the planet's geological, climatological, and biological history. In this book Dr. Carr summarizes the history of water on Mars. He highlights problems confronted, addressing them from the records of the morphology of the surface and the chemistry and mineralogy of some near-surface rocks, as revealed in meteorites originating on Mars. The book is well illustrated with imagery from the Viking missions. The water story has important implications for the future exploration of the planet.
The book is beautifully illustrated, well written, thoroughly referenced and is an ideal introduction to the fluvial evolution of the surface of our neighbouring planet. New Scientist
