An early nineteenth-century Austrian educational manual of natural philosophy, issued by the Imperial-Royal (k.k.) School Book Publishing Cooperative in Vienna. Intended for use in schools, the work provides an accessible introduction to the principles of natural science in light of the "newer discoveries" of the Enlightenment and early nineteenth century. Chapters treat such subjects as heat (Hitze), light (Licht), sound (Schall), electricity (Elektricität), magnetism (Magnetismus), and the fundamental properties of matter, presenting contemporary scientific knowledge in a form suitable for students. Publications of the k.k. Schulbücher-Verlag played a central role in the standardization of scientific education throughout the Austrian Empire during the post-Napoleonic period.
