A riveting blend of science writing and true-crime narrative, The Nature of Life and Death details Wiltshire's unique journey from college professor to crime fighter: solving murders, locating corpses, and exonerating the falsely accused. Along the way, she introduces us to the unseen world all around us and underneath our feet: plants, animals, pollen, spores, fungi, and microbes that we move through every day. Her story is a testament to the power of persistence and reveals how our relationship with the vast natural world reaches far deeper than we might think.

laborious, unnecessary proselytization
Revisado: 07-29-23
Wish the author stuck to the forensic aspects of her investigations instead of the endless speil about everything else but.. there is more here about her die-hard commitment to atheism, her self proclaimed genius and her (pretty boring) personal life than there is about the cases she actually contributed to. In hindsight, I would have rather mopped the floor and done the dishes than listen to this book. however, the forensic data is interesting and I would recommend just doing a Google search and reading about all of her cases online .. you save more time and save yourself an audible credit too.. just my $0.02

A hundred-year mystery lured veteran climber Mark Synnott into an unlikely expedition up Mount Everest during the spring 2019 season that came to be known as “the Year Everest Broke”. What he found was a gripping human story of impassioned characters from around the globe and a mountain that will consume your soul - and your life - if you let it.

Ana Kaminski is pushed through the iron gates of Auschwitz beside her frightened young friend Ester Pasternak. As they reach the front of the line, Ana steps forward and quietly declares herself a midwife--and Ester her assistant. Their arms are tattooed and they’re ordered to the maternity hut. Holding an innocent newborn baby, Ana knows the fate of so many are in her hands and vows to do everything she can to save them.

Bollywood style Holocaust story
Revisado: 03-29-23
Great narration! however the content is more of a Sunday school story filled with cheesy lines about love for humanity, God's love and so on. There is nothing unique in terms of covering the Holocaust either.. even the midwifery barely covers any real midwifery.. over 3000 babies are born just fine without any details ( most of whom were murdered or die after birth.. that's it). A little too unrealistic on the other hand..Case in point ( without giving away too much of a spoiler) - a key character gets shot while escaping a very notorious concentration camp in the final months of the war. the character then recovers (and hold your breath..) marches on Berlin with the Red Army to defeat the Nazis! What's next.. Lazarus?? Bollywood would be proud!

Definitely worth the listen
Revisado: 05-06-22
Very interesting, beautifully written and performed, this is a story with a strong core, one that is full of soul interspersed with tit bits of astrophysics. Though while listening to it I felt the narrative drifted a little into bazaar-land occasionally, in hindsight I think it offers a really scintillating perspective of life and everything that makes life worth living. Sheila Heti is definitely an author I'll be reading more from.
