'Simply Chomsky' presents Chomsky's ideas in one concisely edited and accessible volume -- a perfect introduction, chock full of nuggets and insights. -- David Barsamian, Alternative Radio
Noam Chomsky's first book Syntactic Structures, published in 1957 and now considered a classic, not only shook up the study of linguistics but  but had a profound effect on philosophy and psychology and laid the groundwork for the field of cognitive science.In the 1960s Chomsky took part in protests against the Vietnam War and began writing the articles that initiated his other career as a public dissident and political thinker. Ove rthe course of the nexg 60 years, Chomsky would continue to be a major voice in both areas, embodying a lifelong commitment to intellectual exploration, freedom of thought and human rights.
In Simply Chomsky, Professor Raphael Salkie provides a compact, user-friendly introduction to Noam Chomsky's political activism  and his groundbreaking work in linguistics . Unlike most Chomsky studes, Prof. Salkie not only covers the essentials of Chomsky's thought and accomplishments, but also explores his most recent concerns -- including the climate crisis, the threat of nuclear holocaust, and current political hotspots -- which are often very different from the topics that preoccupied him decades ago.
For students of linguistics, for those interested in U.S. foreign policy, and for anyone concerned about the enormous problems facing the world, Simply Chomsky will be exhilarating and thought-provoking reading.  Noam Chomsky has spent his life challenging widely accepted assumptions and beliefs, and has made an indelible mark on world affairs and human thought.  Simply Chomsky offers a special opportunity to find out more about this remarkable and always engaging contrarian thinker.
Raphael Salkie is Emeritus Professor of Language Studies at the University of Brighton, UK.  He is the author of numerous works about language and Chomsky.
