Scholarly books tend to be broadly focused on either an author or some aspect of an author's works or life. To jump into the section of a book discussing a specific work, concept, person, or place, use the index at the back of the book to quickly navigate to the correct section. Each index contains an alphabetized list of terms, titles, and names with page numbers referencing where in the book that topic, name, or term can be found. Save time--use the Index!
