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.

评分##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。

评分##芬兰的经验是乌克兰应该汲取的 后几章没什么意思 3.5
评分##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?
评分##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...
评分##作者从个人应对危机的心理治疗方法中总结出12个与危机相关的因素，将其扩展到应对国家危机乃至全球危机上。本书的主题：个人、团体、企业、国家、乃至世界都有面临危机和压力的时候。危机可能来自外部，也可能来自内部。不管来自外部或内部都需要选择性地进行改变，对国家和个人来说都是如此。个人觉得本书在第八章后渐入佳境，分别讨论了日本，美国，和全球可以预见的危机问题。英文版中对中国的评价务实，中文版有删节。
