The opening of the text presents a preface and an introduction outlining the aim of the book. The editor acknowledges those who assisted in the creation of this collection, including his wife and a colleague. The introduction emphasizes that the selected articles are not only pedagogical tools but also valuable in themselves, spanning topics from human anatomy and industrial machinery to philosophical ideas.
