Recently, I had the joy to copyedit Nina Munteanu’s seminal work on water in all its aspects. Nina also invited me to provide some photographs and a short passage on the antiphonal singing of goldfinches. My role ended with writing the back-of-book index.
Here is a sample, built using Sky indexing software. In the book, the index is presented in three columns.
Note that page numbers in italics are for images and those in bold are for definitions. Page numbers preceded by a Q are for quotes, and those with a T are for tables.
