Her writing, which might be deemed pornographic by the puritanical, often explores themes considered erotic by the more liberated. Several of her texts have been adapted for theater and cinema, attesting to their compelling nature and broad appeal.
Extreme Value Theory provides a comprehensive exploration of the subject, starting from foundational mathematics to advanced statistical theory. It covers one-dimensional and higher-dimensional cases, focusing on applications and probabilistic aspects. The book includes case studies and an appendix on regular variation, making it suitable for graduate students and researchers.
