God of Sperm: Cappy Rothman's Life in Conception

By (author) Joe Donnelly

| on special |

normal price: R 759.95

Price: R 683.95


| book description |

God of Sperm tells the remarkable story of Dr. Cappy Miles Rothman, the son of notorious gangster Norman ""Roughhouse"" Rothman,  who went on to become a trailblazer in the field of reproductive medicine.  Rothman started the California Cryobank, one of the world's largest repositories of reproductive genetic material and cord-blood stem cells. Among other achievements, Rothman also pioneered the use of microsurgery in urological procedures, postmortem sperm retrieval techniques, and was one of the first practitioners of andrology, a specialty dealing with male reproductive biology and medicine.  How Cappy Rothman went from Mafia scion and man-about-town during the postwar Miami Beach--Havana era of gangster chic to one of the most consequential figures in modern medicine is an epic, only-in-America tale that is also a fine reminder of the broad horizons and wild possibilities life in the U.S. can offer.
