In 2009, E. Kisinas’s electronic English–Lithuanian Military Dictionary was published. An updated, revised edition was prepared on the basis of this dictionary. As the author notes in the preface, “[t]he Lithuanian military terminology has not yet become established, so comments and suggestions received from specialists led to the publication of the third edition” (p. 5). The translation dictionary includes all the terms from the three encyclopedic dictionaries prepared by E. Kisinas (military affairs, protection against weapons of mass destruction, and artillery), almost all the terms from the NATO Terminology Database, and about 4,000 terms from various military and related fields. The publication is intended for students at military educational institutions, English translators and teachers, and all officers, warrant officers, and sergeants in the national defence system. The dictionary is arranged alphabetically by nested entries. The Lithuanian equivalent is given alongside each English term. Lithuanian equivalents are marked for stress. At the beginning of the dictionary are a short author biography, a preface, a description of the dictionary’s structure, and lists of English and Lithuanian abbreviations and shortened forms. At the end is a list entitled “English Verbs with Incorrect Inflection” and an English–Lithuanian glossary, “Historical and Obsolete Words (Phrases).” The dictionary has been endorsed with the statement: “The State Commission of the Lithuanian Language has no objection.”

The publication includes terms and terminological phrases from cardiology and related fields of medicine, as well as biology, genetics, informatics, medical statistics, medical law, psychology, and education. The teaching book is intended primarily for medical residents who read English-language literature or travel abroad for internships or conferences. Some terms are briefly explained. Corrections of non-standard terms and synonyms are included. Some terms are accented. Headwords are arranged alphabetically by their English forms, with Lithuanian equivalents alongside them.

The introduction explains what fear and phobia are, presents classifications of phobias proposed by several authors, briefly outlines the results of a 2017 study of fears among children and adults, and includes advice from psychologist Aušra Pundzevičienė on how to live with fears.
