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.

##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.
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##應對危機的12個建議： 承認危機 接受解決危機的責任 確定危機的邊界 求助外界 藉鑒榜樣 自我力量/國傢凝聚力 誠實地自我評估 應對危機的經驗 耐心 靈活性 核心價值觀 個人約束/國傢地緣限製
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##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。
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##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##危機處理的框架對於深度分析作用其實不是很大，更像一本專欄閤集。也許是期待太高吧。
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?
