This companion volume explores the breadth of Chomsky's thought, from his pioneering work in linguistics, to his radical politics, to his analysis of professional sports. A complete transcript of the film is complemented by key excerpts from the writings, interviews and correspondence of Chomsky, co-author Edward S. Herman, and others. Also included are further exchanges between Chomsky and his critics, additional historical and biographical material, filmmakers' notes, a resource guide, and 300 stills from the film.
