Ready for an author talk? Join us Tuesday, May 16th at 7pm for Michael Tougias' Author Presentation: Extreme Survival. Presenting his latest novel, "Extreme Survival", Tougias will first captivate his audience by chronicling harrowing survival stories, and then discusses the lessons learned. Using slides from some of the survival events to give the audience and edge-of-your-seat experience, Tougias will also provide useful techniques that we can all use when faced with adversity or aspire to achieve a difficult goal.

A New York Times Bestselling author, Michael Tougias has earned critical acclaim and literary awards for his 30 bestselling non-fiction narratives. Many of his books have been published by Simon & Schuster, St. Martins Press, Henry Holt, and Public Affairs.
