This remarkable biography on one of the top world's linguists and social scientist goes far beyond your typical tell all tale, the book actually begins to break down the deep structures and grammatical surface structures Chomsky pioneered in the late 1950's and early 1960's. The book and its authors then takes us into the 1980's and the linguistic revolution Chomsky again reinvented by dismantling his past legacy and contributions.
