About the book
"In the spirit of A SHORT HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERYTHING, an energetic and wide-ranging book of discovery and discoverers, of exploitation and celebration, and of superstition and science, all in search of the ways the chemical elements are woven into our culture, history, and language"

More about the book
The book shelves on the map are open to everyone, as always. Seferehov is a free app for book lovers. It only shows where public book shelves are — on the street, in a park or in a building lobby — and which books are on them. I do not run the shelves and I add no rules to them.
