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.

The Routledge International Handbook of Memory Studies offers students and researchers original contributions that comprise the debates, intersections and future courses of the field. It is divided in six themed sections:
1)Theories and Perspectives,
2) Cultural artefacts, Symbols and Social practices,
3) Public, Transnational, and Transitional Memories
4) Technologies of Memory,
5) Terror, Violence and Disasters,
6) and Body and Ecosystems.
A strong emphasis is placed on the interdisciplinary breadth of Memory Studies with contributions from leading international scholars in sociology, anthropology, philosophy, biology, film studies, media studies, archive studies, literature and history. The Handbook addresses the core concerns and foundations of the field while indicating new directions in Memory Studies.
"The editors have selected a thought-provoking set of essays that address many of the most important themes and issues within memory studies and contribute exciting new research and ideas to the field. The Handbook invites productive questions about the nature of memory and the field that studies it, and anyone with an interest in memory will find a great deal to appreciate in this volume. The collection also reminds us of the limits of memory studies as a field and may be helpful in establishing disciplinary and conceptual boundaries around memory as an object of study. For all of these reasons it is a valuable and interesting read and a worthy addition to the growing canon."
