The structure is classic for proving a theory. The author sets out the problem or question he intends to solve, then tells readers in advance what answer he has come to. Also in the introduction, he gives the audience an overview of the various ideas that have led him to this answer. In this way, the reader will find it easy to follow the detailed steps of his thinking as the book goes along.
