David Cogswell. Illustrated by Paul Gordon.
 
Noam Chomsky has written some 30 books, is one
of the most-quoted authors on Earth, and is both
a renowned linguist and political Gadfly. The New
York Times calls him “arguably the most important
intellectual alive” – yet most people have no
idea who he is or what he’s about. Chomsky For
Beginners covers Chomsky’s work as a linguist
and as political critic. The book also includes an
exclusive interview with the maverick genius. The
clarity of the text and the wit of the illustrations in
Chomsky For Beginners make strikingly important
figure as easy to understand as the genius next
door.
