'A riveting and illuminating tour of how nations deal with crises -
which might hopefully help humanity as a whole deal with our
present global crisis' YUVAL NOAH HARARI, author of SAPIENS ** NEW
YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** Author of the landmark international
bestsellers Guns, Germs and Steel and Collapse, Jared Diamond has
transformed our understanding of what makes civilizations rise and
fall. Now, at a time when crises are erupting around the world,
heexplores what makes certain nations resilient, and reveals the
factors that influence how nations and individuals can respond to
enormous challenges. In a riveting journey into the recent past, he
traces how six distinctive modern nations - Finland, Chile,
Indonesia, Japan, Germany and Australia - have survived defining
catastrophes, and identifies patterns in their recovery. Looking
ahead, he investigates the risk that the United States and other
countries, faced by grave threat, are set on a course towards
catastrophe. Adding a rich psychological dimension to the in-depth
history, geography, biology and anthropology that underpin all of
Diamond's writing, Upheaval is epic in scope, but also his most
personal book yet. 'Fascinating ... I finished the book even more
optimistic about our ability to solve problems than I started' BILL
GATES 'Jared Diamond does it again: another rich, original and
fascinating chapter in the human saga - with vital lessons for our
difficult times' STEVEN PINKER
