Jared's review
Chomsky for Beginners (Writers and Readers Beginners Documentary Comic Book, 80) by David Cogswell
I love this series of books. They aren't thorough but they are detailed enough and easy enough to read so that you can grasp the main ideas. In this instance, Noam Chomsky's views about langauge, politics and the media are laid out. Chomsky's an interesting fellow and one of the individuals who helped start the field of modern linguistics. I actually found myself more interested in his view of politics and the media than by his contribute to linguistics, however. He's almost like a conspiracy theorist!
