In 2014, Emma and her colleague Paul Martin literally wrote the book on humans in extreme environments. Extreme: Why some people thrive at the limits, published by Oxford University Press, looks at the myriad factors related to human experiences at the limits of life and factors that contribute to coping and resilience under extreme stress.

The book includes chapters on:

  1. Life at the Edge

  4. Bad Sleep

  5. Monotony

  6. Alone

  7. Other People
