The Emacs manual is a really a user manual, the reference manual being the
Emacs Lisp Reference manual. In my experience, a reference manual tries to be
exhaustive and covers details not often needed, not just provide basic
summaries.
If you are trying to get/provide a basic understanding of Emacs without the
effort of skip reading the Emacs Manual then the tutorial (`C-h t' or the top
item in Helpon the menu-bar) might provide what you are looking for
