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.
Jared Diamond, a noted polymath, is Professor of Geography at the University of California, Los Angeles. Among his many awards are the U.S. National Medal of Science, Japan’s Cosmos Prize, a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, a Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction, and election to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. He is the author of the international best-selling books Guns, Germs, and Steel, Collapse, Why Is Sex Fun?, The World until Yesterday, and The Third Chimpanzee, and is the presenter of TV documentary series based on three of those books.
没啥新鲜的。几个案例也不能总结出什么来。
评分颇有几段不太能读到的国家(如印尼、澳大利亚、智利)的历史动荡,非常清晰。
评分觉得作者提出的关于危机的那些总结没太大意思,但讲的几个国家的例子不错,尤其是芬兰、智利、马来西亚的挺新鲜。
评分crisis这个观点太烂了,我不能认同,我不打算读下去了。我也不建议大家阅读
评分It has a lot in common when dealing with personal crisis and national crisis.Familiarity with changes that did or didn’t work in the past can serve us as a guide. The crisis in Japan and the United States is well described.
The book resonates with me so much. The author had gone through a personal crisis arising from the dilemma between discontinueing his field of studies and becoming a simultaneous translator. I used to have similar personal crisis like the author did. I also...
