Index entries to assist reading and selection

Comments

Scanning an index can be a useful way to find out what is in a book and think about what is interesting to you
Your reading can be easier because you have primed your mind to the topics in the book – almost like doing warm-up exercises before doing a sport.

At the beginning of the index in each book, there are tables suggesting which entries might be useful and why.
The following tables bring together those suggestions using themes that are important across the books.

Scanning this section may help you work with these books to your best advantage.
