David Brickner came to the conclusion that the biggest obstacle to faster adoption of Linux on the desktop was that there's too much information available. So what does he do to remedy this situation? Write another book, of course! It's titled the Linux Desktop Pocket Guide.

"There is so much information on the Internet about Linux, distributions, and basic use that it is hard to sift through it all, to know what is accurate and what is up-to-date," writes Brickner. "This is quite a barrier for new users to overcome. This book provides timely information about the current state of the most important Linux distributions and the current favorite applications for desktop use."

This pocket-sized guide focuses on five popular Linux distros -- Fedora, Gentoo, Mandriva, SUSE, and Ubuntu.

In Our Endangered Values, Carter offers a personal consideration of "moral values" as they relate to the important issues of the day. He puts forward a passionate defense of separation of church and state, and a strong warning of where the country is heading as the lines between politics and rigid religious fundamentalism are blurred.

America wants God?s blessing but not God. Our nation has systematically pushed Him out of the national consciousness?rejecting biblical morality, ignoring His Word, and relying on the political and entertainment arenas for moral guidance. As a result abortion, homosexuality, drug abuse, divorce, and pornography runs rampant.

Given the depth of moral bankruptcy, can God bless America? Is God angry with America? Are we on the brink of judgment rather than blessing?

In Can God Bless America? John MacArthur argues that God can bless America, but only when the clear biblical conditions are met. Includes a critical look at one approach to turning America around that?s extremely popular among Christians and political conservatives?moral reform through political action.

Citizens of the Empire:
The Struggle to Claim Our Humanity
by Robert Jensen
Available February 2004
ISBN 0-87286-432-4
Paperback original, 160 pp
$11.95

As we approach the elections of 2004, U.S. progressives are faced with the challenge of how to confront our unresponsive and apparently untouchable power structures. With millions of anti-war demonstrators glibly dismissed as a ?focus group,? and with the collapse of political and intellectual dialogue into slogans and imperatives used to stifle protest ? ?Support the Troops,? We Are the Greatest Nation On Earth,? etc. ? a state of hopelessness and cynicism can become overwhelming.

Citizens of the Empire probes deeply into the sense of disempowerment that has resulted from the Left?s inability to halt the violent and repressive course of post-9/11 U.S. policy. In this passionate and very personal exploration of what it means to be a citizen of the world?s most powerful, affluent and militarized nation in an era of imperial expansion, Jensen offers a potent antidote to leftists? despair over the future of democracy.

Superpatriotism
by Michael Parenti
ISBN 0-87286-433-2
Paperback original, 120 pp
$11.95

How hype, fear, and mindless flag-waving are supplanting informed debate, commitment to democracy, and real patriotism

Superpatriots, writes Michael Parenti, are those people who place national pride and American supremacy above every other public consideration, those who follow leaders uncritically, especially in their war policies abroad. Superpatriotism is the nationalistic hype propagated by officialdom, the media, and various flag-waving groups.

Parenti demonstrates how superpatriotism attaches itself to religion, sports, the military, the schools, and big business. He questions whether its top politico-economic propagators are themselves really patriotic, given how they evade taxes, export our jobs, pollute our land, and plunder the public treasury.
