Description:Noam Chomsky has the rare distinction of being renowned in two entirely separate fields—as a pioneering linguist whose theories upended conventional thinking about language, and as a political writer and activist striving to create a more just and democratic world. In Simply Chomsky, Professor Raphael Salkie introduces us to both the man and the work that has made him famous—from his theory of universal grammar to his critiques of U.S. foreign policy—offering a wide-ranging and thoroughly accessible profile of one of the great thinkers of our time.
