Это издание рекомендуется использовать совместно со стандартными словарём / тезаурусом. Его цель - способствовать запоминанию очень непростых слов с приставками и суффиксами и научить угадывать значение новых слов, опираясь на эти элементы словообразования. Автор книги Майкл Шихен подразделил материал на три части (1) "the Dictionary", в котором объясняется смысл суффиксов и префиксов, корней и комбинированных форм; (2) "the Finder", где устанавливается связь между концепциями и частями слов, при помощи которых эти концепции или значения выражаются;(3)"Categories", раздел, в котором слова и образующие их части слов объединены в кластеры по принципу смысла выражения.
