Foreword by Philip Pullman
140 photos
26 illustrations
11 maps (for example: Gobbler sightings, gyptians' voyage, Scoresby's journeys, Will and Iorek's route to the Himalayas)
12 chapters (for example: characters, places, applied and natural sciences, and social structures)
US and UK page numbers for each element described

From the Back Cover
"I can't recommend it too highly to the reader who's found anything interesting or enjoyable in this story of mine. I know I've turned to it frequently during the writing of the book I'm doing now, and I know I'll continue to do so." -- Philip Pullman
