Now, at a time when crises are erupting around the world, he explores 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooking 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. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35023051096217,"sku":"9780141977782","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9780141977782_a9b8f949-fe93-44cd-9bb0-578866c07d72.jpg?v=1601406716","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9780141977782","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
