How to write an index for any book, collection, or report It’s true. Creating an index for a book is challenging and time-consuming. It’s why authors and publishers hire professional indexers. But that’s not the only way to get a quality index. If you have the desire—and a penchant for detail—you too can write an orderly and comprehensive index. Book Indexing shows you how. With the aid of checklists, “Try This” exercises, and dozens of examples, Book Indexing helps you face the text with confidence. Step by step, you will learn: — The different kinds of indexes, and which to use for your book. — How to use the hierarchy of information to decide what to include in the index, and what to leave out. — How to capture the book’s themes and give the reader a starting point into the index. — How to lay out the index to help readers with their search—including searches for words that aren’t in the book. — Tips for choosing the right words for index entries—the basis of a refined index. — The five-step process for tackling your indexing project. Throughout the book, Stephen takes you through his decision-making on dozens of extracts from his own indexes. Imagine the value of an index for a favorite cookbook, your community's history, your company’s manual, or a book you wrote yourself. With Book Indexing as your guide, you can create an index worthy of the text—an index that your audience will turn to repeatedly. Who else can use this book? If you’re an editor, a publisher, or anyone else who works with indexers, you’ll see first-hand what indexers think about and how they do their work. Or perhaps you’ve wondered about professional indexing as a career or a side business. Book Indexing will give you the chance to try out your abilities and interests with no investment but your time.

'In August 1981 my bag was packed for my fifth visit to Panama when the news came to me over the telephone of the death of General Omar Torrijos Herrera, my friend and host. . . At that moment the idea came to me to write a short personal memoir. . . of a man I had grown to love over those five years' GETTING TO KNOW THE GENERAL is Graham Greene's account of a five-year personal involvement with Omar Torrijos, ruler of Panama from 1968-81 and Sergeant Chuchu, one of the few men in the National Guard whom the General trusted completely. It is a fascinating tribute to an inspirational politician in the vital period of his country's history, and to an unusual and enduring friendship.

“One of the most profound and illuminating studies of this century to have been published in recent decades.”—John Gray, New York Times Book Review Hailed as “a magisterial critique of top-down social planning” by the New York Times, this essential work analyzes disasters from Russia to Tanzania to uncover why states so often fail—sometimes catastrophically—in grand efforts to engineer their society or their environment, and uncovers the conditions common to all such planning disasters. “Beautifully written, this book calls into sharp relief the nature of the world we now inhabit.”—New Yorker “A tour de force.”— Charles Tilly, Columbia University

"The name "Margie Towery" is synonymous with index quality, and in this guide the master indexer distills more than two decades of experience for the benefit of her fellow indexers. Towery defines and explores the characteristics of quality indexes: audiences and accessibility, metatopics and index structure, accuracy, comprehensiveness, conciseness, consistency, clarity, reflexivity, readability, and common sense. Writing in an engaging and accessible style, she shares her own struggles in indexing and offers strategies for overcoming challenges such as bias and language, indexing blocks, and working with authors. Her digressions into research on reading and decision-making provide a wider context for thinking about quality, while her suggestions and checklist for evaluating indexes round out this essential volume for professional indexers at every skill level."--Page 4 de la couverture.
