"Extraction Yield" is a category for books that center on the processes, measurements and consequences of drawing value from raw sources—whether literal materials (minerals, oil, crops, chemicals, pharmaceuticals), biological or genomic resources, or intangible resources like data and information. It encompasses technical manuals and textbooks on process optimization and recovery rates, industry case studies and trade analyses, investigative journalism and policy books about the economics and environmental and social impacts of extraction, practical guides for improving efficiency and sustainability, and fiction or narrative nonfiction that explores the human, ethical and ecological stories behind extraction industries. Unified by themes of yield, efficiency, tradeoffs and consequences, this category appeals to engineers, scientists, industry professionals, policymakers and general readers interested in how we convert resources into value and the costs of doing so.
