Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. History is often told as inevitable - a straight line from past to present, as if the outcome were always certain. But what if civilization hinged on moments far more fragile than we imagine?In Cascades of History, W R Hyde and E P McClain examine thirty-eight pivotal episodes in which decisions made under pressure, shaped by constraint, could have redirected the course of nations, empires, and global systems. At each inflection point, leaders and institutions navigated uncertainty in real time. The choices they made built the world we inherited. Different judgments, different timing, different priorities might have unmade it entirely.Drawing on decades of fieldwork in international development and crisis management across more than fifty countries, Hyde and McClain dismantle the myth of historical inevitability - revealing how human agency operates within structural limits, and how interlocking decisions generate cascading civilizational consequences.An integrated Study Guide provides analytical frameworks and discussion prompts designed for classrooms, book clubs, and independent readers ready to think rigorously about how defining moments take shape - and how they might unfold again.Because history was never guaranteed. It was chosen. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
