false 1395714 3 <B>In a single volume, the seminal writings of the world's leading philosopher, linguist, and critic, published to coincide with his eightieth birthday.</B><BR><BR>For the past forty years Noam Chomsky's writings on politics and language have established him as a preeminent public intellectual and as one of the most original and wide-ranging political and social critics of our time. Among the seminal figures in linguistic theory over the past century, since the 1960s Chomsky has also secured a place as perhaps the leading dissident voice in the United States.<BR><BR>Chomsky's many bestselling works&#151;including <I>Manufacturing Consent, Hegemony or Survival, Understanding Power</I>, and <I>Failed States</I>&#151;have served as essential touchstones for dissidents, activists, scholars, and concerned citizens on subjects ranging from the media to human rights to intellectual freedom. In particular, Chomsky's scathing critiques of the U.S. wars in Vietnam, Central America, and the Middle East have furnished a widely accepted intellectual inspiration for antiwar movements over nearly four decades.<BR><BR><I>The Essential Chomsky</I> assembles the core of his most important writings, including excerpts from his most influential texts over the past forty years. Here is an unprecedented, comprehensive overview of Chomsky's thought. 964276 12 2 2008 The Essential Chomsky total:48|5:23|4:15|3:8|2:2|1:0| 48 203 140 5 5 0 false false Fri Jun 19 12:00:10 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 22:41:32 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Apr 28 06:37:31 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 07:56:37 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jan 29 19:36:49 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 29 19:38:15 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jul 14 11:26:03 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 14 11:27:44 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jul 05 07:31:33 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 07:32:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 09 10:05:35 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 10:05:44 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Nov 07 07:51:41 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 07:51:41 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Oct 24 23:50:52 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 23:50:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 23 17:04:20 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 17:04:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 17 10:45:12 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 22:54:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 29 05:03:47 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 05:03:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 26 21:58:03 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 21:58:03 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Sep 26 21:30:58 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 21:30:58 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Sep 15 22:58:21 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 22:58:21 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Sep 09 14:23:33 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 14:23:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 05 11:10:47 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 11:10:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 01 10:36:51 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 10:36:51 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Aug 20 16:13:20 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 16:13:20 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Sep 25 18:20:53 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 12:02:02 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 18:20:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 13 12:14:28 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 12:14:28 -0700 2009
