Davis (6th floor stacks) P85.C47 M368 1994
Not to be confused with Manufacturing Consent, the book co-written by Chomsky, this is a transcript of and companion to a film of the same name produced by the Institute of Policy Alternatives of Montréal. This book will, of course, complement the film and provide an enlightening point of comparison with Chomsky's own book.

Modgil, S., & Modgil, C. (Eds.) (1987). Noam Chomsky: consensus and controversy. London; Philadelphia: Falmer Press.
Davis (6th floor stacks) P85.C47 N63 1987
This volume of essays in honor of Noam Chomsky provides critical assessments of his work in the field of linguistics and includes one essay about Chomsky's politics, which will perhaps be of interest to those familiar with linguistics who wish to explore the linkage of Chomsky's ideas between these two disparate fields.
Otero, C.P. (Ed.) (1994). Noam Chomsky: critical assessments. (4 volumes.) London; New York: Routledge.
Davis (6th floor stacks) P85.C47 N64 1994
In this four-volume collection of the most important writings on Chomsky's work as of 1994, each volume covers a distinct part of Chomsky's sphere of influence: linguistics in vole I, philosophy in volume II, anthropology (politics) in volume III, and Chomsky's influence on diverse fields of contemporary thought in volume IV. While certain of Chomsky's own works, as Otero states in his foreword, will provide the best picture of Chomsky's habits of mind, this series provides excellent further reading broken down by field. The essays reprinted here will provide interesting links between the disparate fields of study that Chomsky has influenced.
