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?
評分優秀民科
評分讀的時候很順,但Diamond的書總給人一種民科的感覺
評分作者對中國的解讀不知道是停留在哪個年代,難以認同,拿齣的優劣對比之處早已發生改變。尤其”the biggest single disadvantage that will prevent China from ever catching up with the U.S. in average income per person—as long as the U.S. remains democratic and China remains non-democratic.” 不論哪種體製,最終還是得看最高決策人的水平;另,感謝美帝披著外衣的『民主』,不然不會有川某上颱,天天給娛樂新聞加料。期待美帝將民主進行到底!
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.
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.
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...
