| | Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  In social sciences, the "chatty tone and corpuscular language" of Nona Willis Aronowitz's starred selection, Bad Sex: Truth, Pleasure, and an Unfinished Revolution, "explodes myths in ways that will help readers clearly recognize the lies they’ve been fed. Highly recommended." In nonfiction, Chris Blackwell and Paul Morley's The Islander: My Life in Music and Beyond is "An obligatory purchase for all self-respecting rock and pop culture collections." A Taste of Gold and Iron, the latest SFF title by Alexandra Rowland, "continues to showcase their captivating prose, immersive details, and complicated characters." And in sciences, Regenesis: Feeding the World Without Devouring the Planet, by environmental campaigner and Guardian columnist George Monbiot, "is sure to generate interest, both approving and dismissive."
