Recenzii
Fascinating...
I'm
a
big
fan
of
everything
Jared
has
written,
and
his
latest
is
no
exception....
I
finished
the
book
even
more
optimistic
about
our
ability
to
solve
problems
than
I
started.
Upheavalisbold, wide-ranging and original... probes large and important questions. Unlike most social scientists, Diamond can writeinvigorating prosethat carries the reader along with its sweep ... Itdeserves to be widely readand pondered.
Ariveting and illuminating tourof how nations deal with crises-which might hopefully help humanity as a whole deal with our present global crisis.
Jared Diamond is anundisputed global starof comparative history... Britain could learn from this book about how other nations have dealt with turmoil... He findsintellectually stimulatingand unusual examples that provide muchfood for thought.
Diamond writes so well, and his frame of reference (across disciplines and languages) is so considerable, thatalmost everything he describes comes across as fresh.
[Diamond] wears the mantle ofa modern-day prophet. . . opens textures of historical possibility. Only the most obtuse reader of his latest book, on national resilience, could miss the signs and portents with which it is studded ... The prophet spares us chiselled commandments, but we have been warned.
Fascinating globe-hopping study
As a meditation about a world on edge, it iswell worth reading
Persuasive. . . runs refreshingly counter to conventional wisdom
Jared Diamond does it again: anotherrich, original, and fascinatingchapter in the human saga-withvital lessons for our difficult times.
Upheavalis abrilliant, gripping, personal account of nations in crisis, informed by how people respond to crisis. It's an especiallytimelyread today, when nations are stressed and have much to learn about how to survive big challenges.I urge you to read it.
InUpheaval,I find eye-opening lessons about the political and psychological forces that lead to crisis and then resilience, how individuals and nations experience trauma in similar ways, and what that suggests about our future and the world's . . .wise and beautiful.
Jared Diamond is one of the deepest thinkers and most authoritative writers of our time-arguably of all time-andUpheavalproves his prescience in analyzing historical crises within nations at a time when national crises have erupted around the world . . .No scientist has ever won the Nobel Prize for literature. Jared Diamond should be the first.
