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.

##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。

##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?

##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~

##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!

##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

##世事愈加紛亂之際,希望通過此書,獲得一些啓迪。 雖然此書涉及瞭七個國傢的危機應對曆史,但我認為,他其實想要替他的國傢找危機應對之策。此書倒數第三和第二章裏,他大段大段地闡述和分析瞭當今美國所麵臨的重大問題。 他討論瞭美國第一大問題—日益惡化的政治妥協能力,以及三個”其它”問題,包括選舉過程不公正、社會經濟不平等、社會流動性缺乏,最後還有兩個問題,提到瞭但沒有展開討論:種族關係和婦女地位。 所有這些論述都有助於我們去理解,最近幾天充斥各類新聞媒體的反種族主義遊行示威的消息。
