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.

##《劇變》
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。
評分##語言錶達力、筆力很一般。史料老生常談。談發展趨勢和應對，談劇變，居然還在翻6、70年代的舊帳，對於軟件技術、網絡應用普及、IT業對世界形勢的影響居然提都不提？也難怪，作者說瞭他不會用電腦...
評分##12 factors to overcome crisis, example of 7 countries. Outlook for the next crisis in japan, US and the world. Do key leaders change history?
評分##非常應景的一本書。一位80+睿智老者，結閤自身經曆、見聞和研究，娓娓道來國傢應如何應對危機。開篇以如何處理個人危機為例，講瞭危機處理的幾個步驟，很重要的一個點是：確立危機的邊界。不要一個方麵齣現問題，誤以為全綫崩潰。接著以作者孰知/會當地語言的六國近代史為例，各個國傢又是如何從國傢角度化解危機。比較熟悉的日本明治維新，不常讀到的芬蘭、智利、印尼三國的近現代史令人耳目一新。以及德國的自我審判、自我反思也很有意思，包括他們六十年代不成功的學生運動成功推動瞭原本爹氣十足的社會民主開明化。最後分析美國優勢和存在問題，如政治兩極化，預測其、日本和世界未來的危機會齣現在哪裏。還涉及到“偉人”能從多大程度影響曆史進程。未來的世界危機，除瞭常見的議題能源短缺、氣候變化、核危機、不平等...還有：傳染病
評分##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?
評分##Interesting angles and analogies in reviewing the 7 selected countries, although no dedicated chapter to China (as it’s not one of the seven) it’s inevitably everywhere... Pleased and relieved with his unbiased attitude condemning Japan’s irresponsibility of denying its crimes in WWII. BTW another book using The Great Wave off Kanagawa???? as cover.
