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:
Sea squirts and sponges are found in most seafloor habitats around the coasts of Britain and Ireland. Despite being the dominant life forms in many areas, these two groups of under-recorded marine animals are often confused with one another, and most divers and snorkellers can recognise and name very few species. In fact, around 500 species of Ascidiacea (sea squirts) and Porifera (sponges) have been described so far in British and Irish seas, corresponding to over 4% of the world?s total.
This book is recommended reading for anyone who wants to identify and discover more about these fascinating and diverse animals. Rather than relying on the characteristics of preserved specimens, this guide uses marine photography and detailed underwater observations to concentrate on in situ features, allowing you to record species without collecting them. Most sea squirts found in Britain and Ireland?s shallow waters are included, together with the most easily recognised sponges. Whether you are a student, a diver, a rockpooler or simply an enthusiast, this is an essential companion.
? Over 115 species described in detail with in situ photographs
to help with underwater recognition
? Information on size, depth, habitat and distribution
? Key distinguishing features and areas of confusion in identification highlighted
? Details of body structure, life histories, digestive and reproductive processes
? Information about predators, interactions between species,
non-native and problem invasive species
"Although primarily aimed at divers this book can be used by rock poolers and snorkelers to a high efficiency and is highly recommended for this unusual group of organisms for all observers."---Roy Stewart, British Naturalist?s Association More
