Emma has authored an essay in Explain That: 31 intriguing reasons WHY, published in print, ebook and audiobook by Penguin in November 2021 – just in time for Christmas!

Emma's chapter takes readers on a trip up the beautiful north-west coast of Western Australia, and explains how dugong food might help humans survive…

Other topics covered from her colleagues at The Age and Sydney Morning Herald include whether time travel is actually possible, where the Australian accent came from and what it feels like to have dementia.

"Thoroughly researched and eloquently set out by some of Australia’s finest journalists", it "provides nourishment for curious minds" and is available now.

Explain That follows What’s it Like to be Chased by a Cassowary? Fascinating answers to perplexing questions, published by Penguin in 2020, on which Emma was also a contributing reporter.
