Ranging from the prehistoric Polynesian culture of Easter Island to the once-flourishing Native American civilizations of the Anasazi and Mayans, the author analyzes the causes of the decline of the medieval Viking colony in Greenland and continues on to the modern world. In doing so, he paints a catastrophic picture and shows what happens when we waste our resources, ignore the signals of our environment, reproduce too quickly, or cut down too much trees. Environmental damage, climate change, rapid population growth, unstable trading partners, and pressure from enemies were factors in the downfall of some societies, yet others found solutions to these same problems and survived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWhat makes one environment more fragile than another?

In \u003cem\u003eTurnaround\u003c\/em\u003e , the third book in this monumental trilogy, he reveals how successful nations recover from crises by adopting selective change—a coping mechanism more commonly associated with individuals recovering from personal crises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Crises and pressures for change affect individuals and groups at all levels, from a single person to teams, businesses, nations, and the entire world. Crises can arise from external pressures—such as when a person is abandoned by a spouse or becomes a widow, or when a nation is threatened or attacked by another. They can also arise from internal pressures—such as when a person becomes ill or a nation faces civil strife. Successfully dealing with external or internal pressures requires selective change—for both individuals and nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eDiamond analyzes and compares how seven countries survived upheavals—Japan's forced opening to trade by American Commodore Matthew Perry's fleet in the 19th century, the Soviet Union's attack on Finland, the violent coups and counter-coups in Chile and Indonesia, the transformations in Germany and Austria after World War II, and the forces and major problems identified in the United States today. Having lived and learned the languages of five of these countries, the author presents firsthand stories. These nations have experimented, to varying degrees, with mechanisms such as acknowledgment of responsibility and honest self-assessment, and have learned to recover from models from other nations. Looking to the future, the author examines whether the United States, Japan, and the rest of the world are successfully dealing with the serious crises they face.
