The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of science, covering a wide range of topics including physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy. Mivart's aim in writing this book was to provide a practical and accessible introduction to the study of science for the general reader.

Throughout the book, Mivart emphasizes the practical applications of science, showing how scientific knowledge can be used to solve real-world problems. He also emphasizes the importance of scientific literacy, arguing that everyone should have a basic understanding of science in order to navigate the modern world.
