Index

This index was created using NEPHIS syntax, as described in sections 12.2.2.3 and 12.4.1. Locators refer to chapters (chap.), sections (sec.) or to paragraphs. All locators include a chapter number. Section locators include the full section number (which is included in the headings at the top of each page). Paragraph locators consist of a chapter number, a full stop (dot), and a paragraph number. Paragraph numbers can be found on each page of text in the right margin at the head of each paragraph. The glossary, in which definitions and cross references are arranged in alphabetical order, is not included in this index, nor is the bibliography, also arranged in al- phabetical order by primary author.
