What causes some civilizations to thrive and others to fail? What can we learn from their fates? Jared Diamond sets out to answer these questions in his latest book, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed.

In a special appearance at the UNH Field House on Wednesday, April 27 at 7 p.m., Diamond shares his insight on this subject, and its relevance to our own society.

Following his address, Diamond will sign copies of Collapse. For more information on Diamond, visit www.unh.edu/urc/diamond.html
