In 1994, Rwanda was the scene of the first acts since World War II to be legally defined as genocide. Two years later, Clea Koff, a twenty-three-year-old forensic anthropologist, left the safe confines of a lab in Berkeley, California, to serve as one of sixteen scientists chosen by the United Nations to unearth the physical evidence of the Rwandan genocide. Over the next four years, Koff’s grueling investigations took her across geography synonymous with some of the worst crimes of the twentieth century.

Fascinating!
Revisado: 08-15-23
Interesting, sobering, sad, hopeful are just a few of the words I would use to describe this fascinating look into the world of forensic anthropology.
The narrator/author, Clea, does a great job recounting her journey to different parts of the world, while doing the very difficult job of trying to identify victims of genocide, in order to bring closure to the victims families and to bring the ones responsible to justice.
This is a very important book and definitely worth a read/listen.

Story was good. It picks up after the events of the first book and goes, so be sure to read the first book before this one.
The narration is great!
Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Braving Britannia is an oral history of the groundbreaking PC video game, Ultima Online, which launched in 1997 and still operates today. The audiobook features interviews with players as they share how the game affected their lives. In a fantasy world of limitless potential, the only thing players seem to enjoy more than playing the game is talking about it, and yet, the true stories behind the avatars have largely gone unpublished for the past 20 years. Until now.

This book does an amazing job of capturing a truly unique time in gaming history. While listening to the book I often found myself smiling, or even laughing out loud while listening to stories of other people who's adventures(or misadventures) so closely paralleled my own experiences in the world of Ultima Online. Whether you're and old school gamer or just curious about the early days of online gaming, I think there is plenty of entertainment and history to be gleaned from this fantastic book. I can't wait for a followup!

Just boring.

While listening I often found myself daydreaming of other things. I had to struggle to try to keep my attention on the story. The characters seemed to range from uninteresting to annoying and I could not feel a genuine connection to them.
