'Originally this was not going to be a book about iron and steel. It was supposed to be a book about rust. But looking at rust raises all kinds of questions. What is it? Does it only develop on iron? What is the difference between iron and steel? And when it's worn out, where does it go? ... The title Living Iron refers to rust, but also to the fact that we cannot live without iron.'
