By Johann B. Mayer

Der Asphaltstein des Val-de-Travers (Kanton Neufchatel) in mineralogischer, geschichtlicher und technischer Hinsicht, written by Johann B. Mayer and published in 1838, offers a detailed exploration of the asphalt deposits found in the Val-de-Travers region of Neuch tel, Switzerland. This historical work delves into the mineralogical composition, historical significance, and technological applications of the asphalt stone. Mayer's study provides valuable insights into the early understanding and utilization of asphalt in the 19th century.

The book meticulously examines the geological formation of the asphalt deposits, tracing their historical exploitation and discussing the methods used to extract and process the material. It serves as a key resource for understanding the industrial history of the region and the development of asphalt technology. This volume will be of interest to historians of science and technology, as well as those studying the geological history of Switzerland.
