The book has a neat premise: learn facts about various metals and then tour a related mine. So it is that we combine and travel in one neat package. We travel to a small town in the Czech Republic, to the gold-rich mountains of Georgia (the country). I enjoyed the travels that explore the remnants of a bygone industry. But the facts about each metal got a tad boring. The format would have been better served if the author had narrated a story related to just a fact or two. A small nit to pick in an otherwise delightful book.
