This is the end of a series of four dictionaries. The three previous ones, as etymological guides to idioms, proverbs and words, shared a lot in common. Entries began with a particular term in the language, and went on to trace its linguistic origins.
The book that you have an opportunity to download is somewhat different. Instead of beginning with the word and perhaps going on to the historical world for clarification, the direction here is from events in the world to their impact on language.
