Leverage the Word has been delivering back-of-the book indexes for publishers, packagers, and authors for more than 25 years covering a wide range of subjects.  Although Leverage the Word specializes in scientific and technical subjects like chemistry, physics, biology, and nutrition, indexes in the humanities and social sciences are also delivered. Author and name indexes have been provided for textbooks in such areas as psychology, legal, history, art, religion, music, aviation, and theatre.
