she has a chapter, the loneliness of noam chomsky where she writes, when i first read noam chomsky it occurred to me that his marshaling of the evidence, the volume of it, the relentlessness of it was a little, how shall i put it, insane. even a quarter of the evidence he compiled would have been enough to convince me. i used to wonder why he needed to do so much work but now i understand the magnitude and intensity of chomsky's work is a barometer of that magnitude, scope and relentlessness of the propaganda machine that he is up against. he is like the wood or who lives inside the third rack of my bookshelf day and night i hear his jaws crunching through the wood, grinding it to a fine dust. it is as though he disagrees with the literature and wants to destroy the very structure on which it rests. i call him jump skeet. being an american, working in america writing to convince americans of his pointed you must really be like having to tunnel through hardwood. chomsky is one of a small band of individuals fighting a coal industry and that makes them not only brilliant, but heroic.

noam chomsky and it's a bit different. like to think that i have a life rather than a job or a career. and it's also due with reading and writing. the only two things i was ever good at and public speaking which i can also do. and that's how i make my living but it's also what i am, who i am, what i love. and i'm fortunate at that it's nothing like i can do. it's not like i could have been a lawyer and a doctor. i didn't choose it. it chose me. >> in depth airs live at noon eastern on the first sunday of each month on book tv on c-span2. log onto booktv.org for information about upcoming guests. >> we're at the 2009 bookexpo america booksellers convention in new york city. we're here with johnny temple, a publisher. do you want to tell us what you have coming out this fall? >> this fall one of the books we're most excited about is a graphic novel by the great black filmmaker melvin van pebbles. it will be simultaneous with our publication of the book and he is the godfather of the black exploitation movement. and we're wor

. >> coming back to this issue, noam raised it, perhaps a new person would have had to raise interest sooner. does mr. bernanke, larry, have to show any strength and independence from the white house. some people will say he's obama's man now, part of the team, deeply involved in their fiscal policy, out there buying mortgages and treasuries and asset backed consumer and auto loan paper. does he have to show his bonafide as independent fed chairman? >> i think he is an independent fed chairman. i think he will make decisions based on the mandates the fed has. i think given the circumstances we're in it was inevitable the fed and treasury and administration had to work together to get ourselves through the financial crisis. i don't think anyone has any doubt about ben bernanke's independence. he will be independent. >> you're in his corner, larry. we'll leave it there. appreciate appreciate it. thanks. noam schreiber, great pieces you've been giving us. >>> and when we come back, the national debt watch. what does it mean for the economy. we already heard fiscal bankruptcy will damage

and that, he charted this path of radical politics and radical linguistics that basically noam chomsky would end up doing 200 years later. no one else has quite an accommodation since or before. and he started dabbling in a whole number of different filter got interested in electricity. he met ben franklin in 1765, at a coffeehouse in london. where franklin used to hang out and pursue persuaded franco to let him write a book about electricity. priestly had this idea that they were all these amazing discoveries that were happening in the field of electricity. midwood franklin had pioneered. it would be important for somebody to come along and write a real kind of popular account of it, write it in english verse which was an innovation. and all scholars at the time were written in latin. to really tell the story of how the site had developed and flourished over the last 50 years, and how it had all these interesting practical application and how people at home, in their homeland could build, take a little electrical machines into these interesting experiments. so he wrote his book on the
