The advanced tier of each chapter consists of academic and professional references, and those titles are cataloged by Library of Congress classification so that a reader can locate them in a library collection. This guide maps the classifications used in this volume to the chapters in which they appear. It is a finding aid rather than a complete schedule; the full schedules are published by the Library of Congress and are summarized in the companion Reference Guide to Library of Congress Classifications.
A reader requesting a title through interlibrary loan will find the classification useful; a reader browsing a library will find the ranges below are where this subject lives.

This guide maps classifications to chapters, which is what the printed volume contains. Assigning a classification to each of the 160 advanced titles individually would need that data added to the bibliographic tracker first.
