具体描述

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.

##《剧变》是我读过的Jared Diamond教授的第四本书。相比盛名在外的《枪炮,细菌与钢铁》《第三种黑猩猩》《崩溃》阅读过程中给我带来过的因全新的世界观而开辟眼界的心潮澎湃感(我尤其推荐他对于欧亚-美洲文明发展禀赋的比较研究框架,原始印欧语(PIE)的溯源地如何确认的转述...

##Diamond写这本书的时候82岁了——他在书里自己说的,他不说我还不知道,总以为他才六十来岁,然后自己吓了一跳,原来看Germs,guns and steel已经是十年前的事了。很显然,82岁的Diamond写这本书的时候,想着的是“要给地球留下点什么”。这本书讲不同国家应对危机的方式,举了七个不同程度上成功应对危机的例子,而最后两章关于现代的日本和美国,则是结局还未见分晓。最后一部分,则从国家扩展到整个人类所面对的危机。我的感想:1)一直觉得Diamond太啰嗦,这本书居然并不让我厌烦,大概每个国家的故事都讲得清楚,有新的知识点;2)具体故事比作者隆重推出的应对危机12点要好看,12点不是不好,但没有什么让人醍醐灌顶的新意。3)既然不觉得这本书啰嗦,我决定把之前没看完的上一本再翻出来。

1. 变化是绝对的,万事万物皆处在运动变化之中,只是快慢、程度及方式不同而已。人虽然喜欢追求新奇、刺激的感觉,但总还是倾向于喜欢确定性。个人或社会都是如此,总是厌恶变化的,如果变得慢、变得小还可适应,如果来得快、来得大、来得剧烈,也即贾雷德·戴蒙德所说的剧变,...

##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?
