Summary: For a life more illuminated...
Comment: Love him or hate him, Noam Chomsky serves a vital role to any thoughtful and/or politically minded individual in the United States today. By focusing on what you're NOT hearing from the major media sources and political powers, Chomsky engages his audiences by exhaustively cataloging his sources and letting them make their own decisions on what they need to do with the information.
This book represents some of the most accessible Chomsky that you can buy. Comprised of a series of interviews with Alternative Radio founder, David Barsamian, "Propaganda and the Public Mind" does exactly what you would expect it to do; exposing propaganda as a weapon used by the powerful, how it can be recognized, and showing the extraordinary impact normal people can have when they work towards the right sort of changes. Even while discussing grave issues, Noam manages to convey his faith that positive action is alive and well. As a lovely bonus to the interviews themselves, the resources section of the book will help you get as deeply into any of the subject matter as you dare.
I was thrilled by this book. If I were a doctor, I would prescribe an essay a day (which, unfortunately would only last a week for this book) as an antidote for the daily news.

Summary: mind talk
Comment: enlightening and entertaining thoughts from an extraordinary individualist who never seems to go out of style.
He is a walking, talking anti-commercial who delivers to the public what the public REALLY needs: access to their own intelligence.
As with Ralph Nader, it does become a bit odd when the cult of personality applies to such an iconoclast, but in my mind that does not detract from the vitality and usefulness of their ongoing electrically charged ideas.
Power to the people.

Summary: Very Enjoyable
Comment: Being somewhat foreign the Noams writings, I bought this, and I wasn't disappointed by it. I found this book quite enjoyable, and very Insightful. If every book that Noam is part of is a good, and through as this one was I will be reading plenty of Noam to come. I reccomend this to anyone who is is curious about how the U.S.A. is looked on outside of the country!
