✦ Synopsis

Cover Picture

The front cover is showing a Kabuki actor dressed like a devil, drawn by Sharaku. Nickel was first isolated in 1751 from an ore referred to as ''devil Nick copper''. Miners named the ore in that way because it resembled copper ore, but did not yield their objective copper. (Old Nick, informal the devil; Satan, from Webster's Unabridged Dictionary). Nickel was named after its accursed nickname. Reproduced with permission of the Tokyo National Museum. 9 All books published by Wiley-VCH are carefully produced.
