具体描述

In his earlier bestsellers Guns, Germs and Steel and Collapse, Jared Diamond transformed our understanding of what makes civilizations rise and fall. Now, in the final book in this monumental trilogy, he reveals how successful nations recover from crisis through selective change — a coping mechanism more commonly associated with personal trauma.

In a dazzling comparative study, Diamond shows us how seven countries have survived defining upheavals in the recent past — from US Commodore Perry’s arrival in Japan to the Soviet invasion of Finland to Pinochet’s regime in Chile — through a process of painful self-appraisal and adaptation, and he identifies patterns in the way that these distinct nations recovered from calamity. Looking ahead to the future, he investigates whether the United States, and the world, are squandering their natural advantages, on a path towards political conflict and decline. Or can we still learn from the lessons of the past?

Adding a psychological dimension to the awe-inspiring grasp of history, geography, economics, and anthropology that marks all Diamond’s work, Upheaval reveals how both nations and individuals can become more resilient. The result is a book that is epic, urgent, and groundbreaking.

##One strong feeling is that having the form of countries as today, it seems inherent to have a world full of conflicts; ps, wish we can also have a similar self-reflection...pps, would't it be the case that emphasizing national identity may lead to nationalism?

##作者对中国的解读不知道是停留在哪个年代,难以认同,拿出的优劣对比之处早已发生改变。尤其”the biggest single disadvantage that will prevent China from ever catching up with the U.S. in average income per person—as long as the U.S. remains democratic and China remains non-democratic.” 不论哪种体制,最终还是得看最高决策人的水平;另,感谢美帝披着外衣的『民主』,不然不会有川某上台,天天给娱乐新闻加料。期待美帝将民主进行到底!

##语言表达力、笔力很一般。史料老生常谈。谈发展趋势和应对,谈剧变,居然还在翻6、70年代的旧帐,对于软件技术、网络应用普及、IT业对世界形势的影响居然提都不提?也难怪,作者说了他不会用电脑...

##华沙一跪的Willy Brandt,出过大丑闻。他本身就有强烈的Socialist倾向,身边重要幕僚还是东德间谍,并且还陷入过性丑闻(美人计间谍)。他那一跪到底是反省NAZI还是跪舔华约,值得讨论。

##Very insightful book. Jared老爷子的书真的是没话说,希望每个对现代史感兴趣的人都读一读。前半部分扫盲,后半部分从新的角度分析国际问题,其中美中比较很有意思,关于展望世界的部分有些cliche,but still a great book in general! 另外,虽然老爷子在后记中提到自己数据和样本的稀缺性,但整本书很多问题的解释都是“according my friend”,难免让人觉得难以信服(但人家毕竟是Jared Diamond,他的朋友的可信度肯定是很大的…)唉,我要是在这个年龄也能看过世界变迁,往来无白丁,也算不枉走一遭了~
