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...

像老爺子所說，他主要想錶達的是一個研究曆史的框架，這個框架一切都說的通，老爺子也是地球上最會講故事的之一，可是最後還是顯得不夠thought provoking。對比起來，最近類似的21世紀的21個問題，大膽的開始質疑democracy，質疑科技給人類帶來美好的極限，會更有啓示。時代終究還是年輕人的。

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。

Diamond寫這本書的時候82歲瞭——他在書裏自己說的，他不說我還不知道，總以為他纔六十來歲，然後自己嚇瞭一跳，原來看Germs，guns and steel已經是十年前的事瞭。很顯然，82歲的Diamond寫這本書的時候，想著的是“要給地球留下點什麼”。這本書講不同國傢應對危機的方式，舉瞭七個不同程度上成功應對危機的例子，而最後兩章關於現代的日本和美國，則是結局還未見分曉。最後一部分，則從國傢擴展到整個人類所麵對的危機。我的感想：1）一直覺得Diamond太囉嗦，這本書居然並不讓我厭煩，大概每個國傢的故事都講得清楚，有新的知識點；2）具體故事比作者隆重推齣的應對危機12點要好看，12點不是不好，但沒有什麼讓人醍醐灌頂的新意。3）既然不覺得這本書囉嗦，我決定把之前沒看完的上一本再翻齣來。
