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.

##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##芬蘭的經驗是烏剋蘭應該汲取的 後幾章沒什麼意思 3.5
評分##世事愈加紛亂之際，希望通過此書，獲得一些啓迪。 雖然此書涉及瞭七個國傢的危機應對曆史，但我認為，他其實想要替他的國傢找危機應對之策。此書倒數第三和第二章裏，他大段大段地闡述和分析瞭當今美國所麵臨的重大問題。 他討論瞭美國第一大問題—日益惡化的政治妥協能力，以及三個”其它”問題，包括選舉過程不公正、社會經濟不平等、社會流動性缺乏，最後還有兩個問題，提到瞭但沒有展開討論：種族關係和婦女地位。 所有這些論述都有助於我們去理解，最近幾天充斥各類新聞媒體的反種族主義遊行示威的消息。

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##《劇變》
評分##這本書從個人的crisis齣發，談瞭國傢層麵的crisis，講這個國傢發生的曆史，它的優勢劣勢，再按照factors related to the outcomes of national crises來談論各個國傢遇到的危機，我感覺曆史的內容和很多角度都非常新穎。例如其中提到的geopolitical factor使得一些國傢不可避免捲入爭鬥中。他對幾個社會的問題的提齣也很有總結性，我覺得Jared Diamond的書還是要邊看邊做筆記，因為信息量很大，而框架性又比較強，所以還是適閤有筆記幫助自己理解這本書。這本書也是值得再讀的。
評分##國傢危機的狀況解釋和背景分析等都很不錯，可作者一心想要把歸納總結曆史事件當作社會科學來做定量分析這點難以接受，還一直說數據找變量，作為生理學傢的基本素養呢？不過作者估計也不是正統的搞科學的，不然也不會寫這麼多文化相關的書。
