24 Reasons to Abandon Christianity cover 24 Reasons to Abandon Christianity, by Charles Bufe.
Taking up where Christopher Hitchens' God Is Not Great left off, 24 Reasons to Abandon Christianity reveals Christianity's cruelty, dishonesty, fear-mongering, hypocrisy, misogyny, homophobia, dogmatism, and authoritarianism, and all of the misery, destruction, and death caused by these things. 24 Reasons to Abandon Christianity also reveals the roots of these characteristics, and why Christianity leads to all of these evils. While the book treats serious topics, its tone—much like Hitchens' book—is analytical, but also breezy and biting.

Anarchists have talked for decades about producing an anarchist cookbook, a book whose contents accurately reflect its title. A book written by anarchists that delivers recipes for social change, recipes for tasty food, and accurate information about anarchism. There have been several false starts on such a book, but no one has ever published one. Until now.

Topics covered include the nature of anarchism, approaches to social and political change—what works and what doesn't, avoiding entrapment by the FBI, food politics, and vegan recipes and cooking for both large and small groups.

Bible Tales for Ages 18 and Up, by G.Richard Bozarth cover graphic Bible Tales for Ages 18 and Up, by G. Richard Bozarth. Bible Tales consists of excerpts from the Terminally Ill Sea Scrolls, discovered in 1947 in Israel by Dr. Sebaceous Piafraus in the same month the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. The Dead Sea Scrolls became internationally famous, but the Terminally Ill Sea Scrolls were consigned to obscurity, along with their discoverer, who endured decades of ego-bruising neglect. Finally, in Bible Tales for Ages 18 and Up, Dr. Piafraus provides us with translations of his scrolls, translations of well known Old Testament stories which he insists are the most authentic versions of the stories because the Jewish eschatological cult that created the Scrolls claimed that they were. These stories are more fully developed than in the Old Testament and are humorous, though some parts are appalling, because Bible stories often are appalling.

Death Wins All Wars, by Daniel Holland 
 cover graphic Death Wins All Wars, by Daniel Holland.
While Daniel Holland's memoir details his involvement in the draft resistance movement of the 1960s, the impetus to share his story now comes from the dangerous new president and his enablers in congress There is no telling how quickly they will plunge our nation into war. People who are of age to fight in the wars of today were not yet born when the lessons of Vietnam were being learned, so this book may serve as a guide to the decisions they face in today's volatile world. Holland's chapters highlighting the headlines and breaking news of the time alternate with coming of age rites?of?passage chapters as his personal memories and current reflections on those events portray a growing consciousness and his evolution of youthful naivet� into committed antiwar activism. Then his focus turns to the legal adventures that follow: indictment, arrest, arraignment, defending himself at trial, and sentencing. Interspersed with these, he shares episodes of draft board raids, secret rooms, and the day?to?day responsibilities of a full?time activist. He follows a surprise ending with a thoughtful afterword contemplating our personal responsibilities for peace.

Disbelief 101, by S.C. Hitchcock
 cover graphic Disbelief 101: A Young Person's Guide to Atheism, by S.C. Hitchcock.
This witty exploration into atheism and rational thinking is written specifically for young adults, although many older people will also find it of value. Not just focused on atheism, this crash course in logical thinking addresses the issue of indoctrination, whether religious, political, or commercial, and makes the case that morality is created through reason, logic, and our basic social nature, not through divine commands. The book touches on many hot topics, such as the traditional arguments for God's existence, the relationship of evolution and religious belief, the incompatible nature of science and religion, and the harmfulness of both Christianity and Islam.

The cost of building all of the instruments described in this book is very low—with some costing nothing to build—given that many are constructed entirely of free materials commonly available in homes and schools, and the rest use a combination of free and common, cheap materials (such as nuts and bolts). In addition to the plans, the author also describes how all of the instruments should be played. The audio CD provides charming illustrations of that playing

Both leftist supporters and rightist opponents of the Chavez government will be outraged by the book's premise that the Chavez regime is neither dictatorial nor revolutionary, but rather is one of a long line of Latin American populist regimes that are ultimately subservient to the U.S. government and to the transnational corporations.

Topics include Venezuela's political history and the long involvement of the military in that history; Venezuela's economy, and more especially Venezuela's oil economy; Venezuela's indigenous rights and human rights movements; Venezuela's labor movement; and the social policies of the Chavez government and its predecessors. In the course of discussing these topics, the author cites hundreds of sources, a great many of them first-hand.
