具體描述
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.

評分##Very insightful book. Jared老爺子的書真的是沒話說，希望每個對現代史感興趣的人都讀一讀。前半部分掃盲，後半部分從新的角度分析國際問題，其中美中比較很有意思，關於展望世界的部分有些cliche，but still a great book in general！ 另外，雖然老爺子在後記中提到自己數據和樣本的稀缺性，但整本書很多問題的解釋都是“according my friend”，難免讓人覺得難以信服（但人傢畢竟是Jared Diamond，他的朋友的可信度肯定是很大的…）唉，我要是在這個年齡也能看過世界變遷，往來無白丁，也算不枉走一遭瞭～
評分##華沙一跪的Willy Brandt，齣過大醜聞。他本身就有強烈的Socialist傾嚮，身邊重要幕僚還是東德間諜，並且還陷入過性醜聞（美人計間諜）。他那一跪到底是反省NAZI還是跪舔華約，值得討論。
