There is quite a bit of material in this handbook.  To make it a bit easier to navigate, the contents of the handbook are divided into five major sections (I - V), some of which are then further subdivided into subsections and all of which are divided finally into listings and information entries.  The five major sections are listed directly underneath this note.
