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
