Based on period documents and photography, the book maps in detail the development of Bohemian non-university sciences from the 18th century. The main attention is focused on the Czech Academy of Sciences and its most important precursors, whether the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, such as the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts, or the Royal Bohemian Society of Learning. Individual chapters are devoted also to other Czech and German scientific institutions in the Czech lands. The entire process of the development of Czech non-university science is places in the wider social context.
