520 _aThe first biography of Chomsky to be written (and probably not the last) tracing the intellectual and political milieus that shaped the famous thinker's views. Barsky (English, U. of Western Ontario) reveals the underpinnings of Chomsky's ideas towards linguistics, politics, and philosophy, articulating his assessment of political engagement, postmodernism, and academia. Whether one reviles or reveres Chomsky, this biography certainly demonstrates the profundity and breadth of his work.
