Forum explores the many layers and different experiences of San Francisco with author Rebecca Solnit. Her new book, "Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas," reinvents the traditional atlas and presents 22 maps that reveal hidden connections and cultural experiences. She maps the sites of graveyard shift work from San Francisco's industrial 1960s with 6am bars that exist now, and 2008's murders are mapped with 2009's Monterey Cypress trees.
