Chomsky For Beginners tells you what he's about: Chomsky is known for his work in two distinct areas -- Linguistics and ... gadflying. (Gadfly, the word applied to Socrates. comes closest to the constant social irritant that Chomsky has become.) It is Chomsky's work as Political Gadfly and Media Critic that has given passion and hope to the general public -- and alienated the Major Media -- which, of course, is why you don't know more about him. Chomsky's message is very simple: Huge corporations run our country, the world, both political parties, and Major Media. (You suspected it Chomsky proves it.) If enough people open their minds to what he has to say, the whole gingerbread fantasy we've been fed about America might vanish like the Emperor's clothes ... and America might turn into a real Democracy. What's so special about Chomsky For Beginners? The few existing intros to Chomsky cover either Chomsky-the-Linguist of Chomsky-the-Political-Gadfly. Chomsky For Beginners covers both -- plus an exclusive interview with the maverick genius. The clarity of David Cogswell's text and the wit of Paul Gordon's illustrations make Chomsky as easy to understand as the genius next door. Words and art combine to clarify (but not oversimplify) the work and to humorize the man who may very well be what one savvy interviewer called him -- the smartest man on earth"--Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Chomsky, Noam $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a Chomsky, Noam $x Philosophy. 600 10 $a Chomsky, Noam $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Mass media criticism $z United States. 650 0 $a Linguistics. 600 17 $a Chomsky, Noam. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00042427 650 7 $a Linguistics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999202 650 7 $a Mass media criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011387 650 7 $a Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060777 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Interviews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423832 830 0 $a For beginners documentary comic book. 941 $a 1 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044105.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=61B18DE87E5A11E7AF86F61097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
