Concepts grouped by theme, mapped to where they get the deeper treatment in the chapters. Use this when you remember the topic but not which chapter covered it. Some topics appear in multiple chapters because the material is genuinely cross-cutting.
Each topic links to one or more chapter references. Topics with multiple references appear in those chapters from different angles. The clusters group thematically, not alphabetically; for an A-Z view, see the Glossary.
