German translation of Daubree's most important work. It is the summary of his research into geochemical processes. The chapters deal with different topics: meteorites, geochemical processes, applications of engineering principles to the understanding of geological structures and mechanical problems, e.g., the folding and torsion of land structures. This work was of lasting significance and is still referred to today. There are very interesting chapters devoted to the effects of dyanamite explosions, mineralization patterns (beautifully illustrated), artificial minerals, etc.
