The question which is raised by the tide of this survey "A second
Stone Age?" is meant by its author to be interpreted in a
figurative sense, namely in respect to the increasing importance of
all those branches of the industry which are manufacturing products
from "stones and earth." The meaning of the comprehensive term
"mineralogical processing in dustry" is a synthesis of
raw-materials and processing techniques and comprises know-how,
science and research in the fields of ceramics (fine-and heavy day
ceramics as weIl as refractory building materials) binders (cement
-lime - gypsum) glas, and enamel. The answer to the question posed
is given in a comprehensive report about the development, the
expansion and present-day technical achievements in these fields.
The author particularly points out the absolute necessity of
mineralo gical products, and shows that technical progress as the
basis of our culture and civilisation would be unthinkable without
these products."
