    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:

    Uniquely follows plate tectonics cycles, integrating igneous and metamorphic topics to engage and educate future Earth scientists.

    Petrology and Plate Tectonics, First Edition presents a groundbreaking approach to teaching petrology by using plate tectonics as a unifying theme and integrating igneous and metamorphic topics to equip students with a clearer understanding of essential geological concepts.

    Students gain deeper insights into vital concepts such as the movement of matter through Earth's crust and mantle, the interplay between petrologic cycles and surface processes, the whole Earth's water cycle, landscape evolution, and the formation of critical element deposits.

    This holistic approach illustrates how petrology influences and is shaped by Earth's evolving systems, including climate change, mass extinctions, and geological hazards.

    The text is written so the student knows that not all questions in petrology are answered yet. The writing is engaging and pushes students to ask questions, and then the text provides tools to help the students answer those questions.
    - Jason Ricketts, University of Texas, El Paso
