The New Holland Little Books are easy-to-use comprehensive guides to important subjects. The Little Books feature over 100 entries on key principles or theories essential to understanding the subject. Written in an easily accessible manner, each Little Book explains sometimes very difficult concepts and theories, putting them in their historical context, giving background information on the experts who proposed them in the first place, analysing influences and proposing, where relevant, links to other related entries. The books also feature tables, equations and illustrations, and end with a glossary, where relevant, and an index.

The Little Book of Medical Breakthroughs is arranged chronologically and the country of origin is listed, where appropriate. Each entry includes a clear main heading, the person or people responsible for the discovery, birth and death dates, where relevant, followed by a short introductory paragraph explaining the concept concisely. In some cases, the main essay is also cross referenced to linked subjects. The book ends with a comprehensive index.

Other books in the series include: The Little Book of Environmental Principles and The Little Book of Mathematical Principles.
