The book is reminiscent of the Young Marmot Manuals of many years ago. It is aimed at children, or their parents / educators, and consists of many short chapters on various topics, condensing a mixture of theoretical topics (history, science, etc.) and practical ones (how to build a hut, how to light a fire, etc. . etc.). This compendium of things the authors believe will appeal to boys includes activities, such as building a tree house and go-cart; stories of famous battles and heroes; information on such things as grammar, first aid, and astronomy; advice; games; codes; and more.
Sometimes there are phrases that require a little critical sense (for example, on the “Galileo case”).
