  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 and also a fine reminder of the broad horizons and wild possibilities life in the US can offer.

  During the Conservative Party leadership contest in the summer of 2022, Kemi Badenoch made an immediate impression on the public as a politician with robust views and a strong personality. Although only a junior minister at the time, she was marked out as a rising star and, having exited the race after the fourth ballot, even as a potential future leader. From September 2022, she served in the Cabinets of Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, combining her post as the Secretary of State for Business and Trade with that of the Minister for Women and Equalities.
  Badenoch's centre-right instincts and admiration for Margaret Thatcher have helped to guarantee that her popularity among the grassroots of her party remains high, yet her background is unusual by Westminster's standards. Having been born in London and raised in Nigeria, she describes herself as 'to all intents and purposes a first-generation immigrant'. She returned to Britain aged sixteen to sit her A-levels before studying computer systems engineering at the University of Sussex. She then worked in the banking sector before becoming a Member of the London Assembly in 2015 and, in 2017, entering the House of Commons as the MP for Saffron Walden.
  So what makes Badenoch tick? How has she achieved Cabinet rank so quickly? And what would be the implications for the direction of the Conservative Party if she did become its leader?
  In this meticulously researched biography, Michael Ashcroft charts Badenoch's fascinating course from relative obscurity to being hailed in some quarters as the saviour of conservatism in the UK.

  Netflix’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story — Actors and Their Real-Life Counterparts 
  How True Horror Inspired Netflix’s Darkest Transformation 
  By Vivian Brightwell 
  Behind every monster lies a man — and behind every performance, a mirror. 
  In this chilling and deeply reflective audiobook, Vivian Brightwell dissects Netflix’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story — exploring how real horror, cinematic artistry, and moral ambiguity collide. Through compelling comparisons between the actors and the real people they portray, this book examines what it truly means to become the monster. 
  From Charlie Hunnam’s unnervingly quiet interpretation of Ed Gein to Tom Hollander’s calculated Alfred Hitchcock, each performance reveals more than imitation — it exposes the uneasy relationship between fact and fiction, empathy and disgust, art and exploitation. 
  Blending historical accuracy, psychological insight, and cultural critique, Brightwell invites listeners to confront an uncomfortable truth: horror endures not because of violence, but because it reflects who we are. 
  Why do we keep watching monsters? 
  Perhaps because, in the end, we’re searching for our own reflection in the dark.
