具體描述

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.

##Very insightful book. Jared老爺子的書真的是沒話說,希望每個對現代史感興趣的人都讀一讀。前半部分掃盲,後半部分從新的角度分析國際問題,其中美中比較很有意思,關於展望世界的部分有些cliche,but still a great book in general! 另外,雖然老爺子在後記中提到自己數據和樣本的稀缺性,但整本書很多問題的解釋都是“according my friend”,難免讓人覺得難以信服(但人傢畢竟是Jared Diamond,他的朋友的可信度肯定是很大的…)唉,我要是在這個年齡也能看過世界變遷,往來無白丁,也算不枉走一遭瞭~

##類比個人對危機應對,以此為框架看國傢的危機應對,聽起來有點民科但卻也確實帶來不少洞見。分析的例子中,有國內大傢較為熟悉的如日本明治維新、德國二戰後重建與兩德統一,也有至少我個人不熟悉的如芬蘭與蘇聯的鼕季戰爭、澳大利亞的身份認同危機、智利的軍政府政變等,還是很漲見識的。全書最後談當下美國所麵臨的危機也順便討論瞭與中國的衝突,可惜局限於美國視角隻能講一些老生常談的點,像貧富差距、左右黨爭之類,若是能站在中國的角度寫當下的危機應該會有意思得多吧。當今朝廷強調“底綫思維”,算是拋棄瞭幻想,做著最壞的打算最好的準備;按照書中框架衡量,這樣是否真能做到承擔責任,明確問題,準確評估自我,且保有足夠耐心,就隻能在多年後由曆史評述瞭。

##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。
