Collapse: Why Do Civilizations Fall? An Annenberg Media Exhibit
The history of humankind has been marked by patterns of growth and decline. Some declines have been
gradual, occurring over centuries. Others have been rapid, occurring over the course of a few years. War, drought, natural
disaster, disease, overpopulation, economic disruption: any of these can bring about the collapse of a civilization. Internal
causes (such as political struggles or overfarming)  can combine with external causes (such as war or natural disaster) to bring about a collapse. What does this mean for modern
civilizations? What can we learn from the past?

EAT - European Authentic Tastes
In 1992, the EU created a system to protect and promote traditional and regional food products. Inspired
by the Member States' national systems, such as the French AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) and the Italian
DOC (Denominazione d'Origine Controllata) — these countries' national systems for protecting the designation
of origin of regional wines — the EU legislation systems were put into place to protect several hundreds of products.
The system strives to:
• Encourage diverse agricultural production
• Protect product names from misuse
and imitation
• Help consumers to know the specific character of the products

The History of Costume
The "History of Costume" or "Zur Geschichte der Kostüme" was printed from 1861 to 1880 in Munich
by the publishing firm of Braun and Schneider. It was originally published as individual plates in a German magazine titled
"Münchener Bilderbogen". Later, these plates were collected and bound into book form. The total publication consisted of 125
pages, with four pictures per pages, for a total of 500 costume designs. These plates consisted of historical dress from antiquity
to the end of the 19th century. This book is an excellent source for students who are studying the history of fashion and
for costume designers. One must be aware though, that these illustrations have a Victorian perspective to their designs. The
last 35 pages consists of contemporary folk dress (c.1880) from most European, Asian, and African countries.

Rome Reborn A Vatican Exhibit
In the Renaissance, the popes returned to the See of Saint Peter. Popes and cardinals straightened
streets, raised bridges across the Tiber, provided hospitals, fountains, and new churches for the public and splendid palaces
and gardens for themselves. They drew on all the riches of Renaissance art and architecture to adorn the urban fabric, which
they saw as a tangible proof of the power and glory of the church. And they attracted pilgrims from all of Christian Europe,
whose alms and living expenses made the city rich once more.

Traitors, Seamstresses, and Generals: Voices of the American Revolution
Voices of the American Revolution expresses the main focus of our website. Traitors,
Seamstresses, and Generals were real people who were important figures during the time of the American Revolution. In
our view, a Traitor is anyone who is unloyal to a cause. The word Seamstresses represents women at the time
of the American Revolution, while the word Generals, both British and American, symbolizes the leadership that occurred
during the time of the American Revolution.
