Müstəqillik əldə edildikdən sonra ölkəmizdə dilçilik sahəsində bir sıra uğurlar əldə edilib ki, bunlardan biri də Mahmud Kaşğarinin “Divanü lüğat-it-türk” əsərinin Azərbaycan dilinə tərcümə edilməsidir. Bu tərcümədən sonra türkoloji araşdırmaların mərkəzi olan Azərbaycanda bu fundamental lüğətin araşdırılmasına və ciddi əsərlər yazılmağa başlandı. Türk dillərinin tarixi sintaksisini araşdıraraq onun inkişaf yolunu izləmək üçün əsərdə işlənən atalar sözü və məsəllərin mühüm əhəmiyyəti vardır. Bu nümunələrin sintaktik xüsusiyyətlərinin araşdırılması Azərbaycan dilçiliyi ilə yanaşı, türkoloji dilçilik üçün də mühüm faktların meydana çıxarılmasına şərait yaratmışdır. Əsərdə atalar sözü və məsəllərdə işlədilən söz birləşmələrinin növlərini və bu birləşmələrə aid sözlər arasındakı sintaktik əlaqələrin (yanaşma, idarə, uzlaşma) müasir Azərbaycan dili ilə müqayisəsini vermək türk dillərində, o cümlədən Azərbaycan dilində bu tip birləşmələrin tarixi inkişafını öyrənmək baxımından olduqca mühüm materiallar verir.
Azərbaycan dilində söyləm nitq vahidi kimi
Authors: Kazımov İ.
Published: September 2024

Söyləmlər formal cəhətdən nitqin tənzimlənmiş, müəyyən qaydalara tabe edilməmiş vahidləridir. Müasir Azərbaycan dilində söyləm nitq hərəkətinin nəticəsi kimi meydana çıxır. Söyləm cümlə komponentlərinin qrup formasında birləşməsindən yaranır və seqmentə görə cümləyə müvafiq gəlir. Söyləmin təşkili mexanizmi superseqment vasitələrin (intonasiya və söz sırası) iştirakı ilə formalaşır. Məqalədə söyləmin növlərini birləşdirən ümumi cəhətin onların emosionallıq keyfiyyəti bildirməsi də əsaslandırılır. Belə ki, nitqdə söyləmin ən müxtəlif növləri meydana çıxır. Söyləmə xas olan əlamət, yəni onların reaksiya bildirməsi, nitq stimulu olması nitqə məxsus başlıca cəhətdir. Söyləmlər struktur-semantik və məntiqi-praqmatik cəhətlərinə görə müxtəlif növlərə bölünür. Onların quruluşunda, mənasında müəyyən özünəməxsusluq və bir-birindən fərqlilik müşahidə olunur. Tədqiqatda müəyyənləşir ki, söyləm ünsiyyətdə danışığın aktuallaşmış ən kiçik vahididir.

Published: September 2024

Məqalədə həftə günlərinin tarixən bir çox dünya dillərində eyni şəkildə adlandırılmasından, fonosemantika məsələlərindən bəhs olunur. Azərbaycan xalqının tarixi keçmişini, etnoqrafiyasını tədqiq etmək baxımından zaman leksikasını əks etdirən həftə günlərinin adları mühüm əhəmiyyət kəsb edir. Türk dillərində xalq tərəfindən vaxtilə həftənin günlərinə verilən adlar fars-ərəb dili və İslam dininin təsirilə sıxışdırılaraq aradan çıxmış, Azərbaycan dilində ərəb-fars sözləri üstünlük təşkil etmişdir. Dünyanın bir sıra dillərinin qohumluğu, vahid dil ailəsinin mövcudluğu məsələsinin həllində həftə günlərinin bu dillərdə tarixən eyni adlarla adlanması yalnız etnoqraf, tarixçilərin deyil, eyni zamanda dilçilərin də üzərinə düşən vəzifələrdən biri hesab edilir. Bu isə tarixi mənbələrin dərindən araşdırılması ilə üzə çıxarıla bilər. Həftə günlərinin tarixən bu dillərdə kosmik ulduzlarla, planetlərlə əlaqəsi də maraq doğuran məsələlərdən biridir. Dialektlərdə həftə günlərinin qədim adları müxtəlif mənalarda qorunub saxlanılmışdır. Türk dillərində həftə günlərinin adları müxtəlif şəkildə – xalqın təsərrüfat tərzinə uyğun olaraq adlandırılır.

The Theory of the Gallery of Images in Works of Art

Published: September 2024

Dünya ədəbiyyatının ilk obrazı, bədii təsvirin qayəsi, şübhəsiz ki, insandır. İnsanı təsvir etmək onun həyatını canlandırmaq deməkdir. Hər bir əsər həyat hadisələrinin obrazlı ifadəsi, cəmiyyətin, tarixin güzgüsüdür. Lakin əsərlərdə təqdim edilən həyat hadisələri olduğu kimi deyil, yazıçı tərəfindən müdaxilə edilərək təsvir olunur. Bədii əsərdə həyat hadisələri öz ifadəsini obrazlarda tapır. Belə ki, yazıçı həyat faktlarını ümumiləşdirir, onu surətlər fonunda oxucuya çatdırır. Surətlərin fərdi xüsusiyyətlərinin məcmusu xarakter əmələ gətirir. Xarakter psixoloji anlayışdır. Bədii əsərdə surətin xarakterə çevrilməsi bu obrazın məqsəd uğrunda qətiyyətlə mübarizə aparmasından irəli gəlir. Başqa sözlə, bədii xarakter çətinliyə baxmayaraq, məqsəd uğrunda mübarizə aparmaqla formalaşır. Tip xüsusi şəraitdə yaranmış tipik xarakterdir. Yazıçı real həyatdan öz niyyətinə uyğun olan insan obrazı yaradır ki, bu da prototip, proobraz adlanır. Prototip, proobraz – əsərdəki bədii qəhrəmanın real həyatdakı surəti deməkdir.

Məqalədə Nizami Gəncəvi və natiqlik sənəti ilə bağlı vəzifələrdən bəhs olunur. Deyilir ki, dahi Nizamini bu aspektdən də öyrənməyə borcluyuq. Bu, əvvəla, dilimizə olan məhəbbətin qayğısı olar. İkincisi, dil təlimi ilə mədəni nitqə yiyələnmiş natiqlər məşğul olmalıdırlar. Filoloq-müəllim ilk növbədə natiq olmalıdır. Nizami Gəncəvi qəhrəmanları natiqlik zirvəsində olan insanlardır. Belə ki, şair Şərq dünyasında ilk dəfə olaraq natiq obrazı yaratmışdır. Natiqlik bir məharətdir, natiqliyə yiyələnmək isə mədəniyyətə yiyələnmək deməkdir. Hazırki dövrdə bu peşə bizə daha çox lazımdır, xüsusən də dahi şairin 880 illik yubileyinə hazırlıq dövründə bu mövzu daha çox aktuallıq kəsb edir. Müəlliflər məqalədə ümumtəhsil məktəblərində “Nitq mədəniyyəti” fənninin tədris edilməsi zərurətini vurğulayır, bu işdə Azərbaycan dili və ədəbiyyat müəllimlərinin rolunun vacibliyini diqqətə çatdırırlar.

Sobre a plausibilidade da hipótese da Metáfora Epistêmica em âmbito intracientífico: o conceito de spin do elétron como estudo de caso
Authors: Santana Fábio Bartolomeu , César da Silva Henrique , Firmo de Souza Cruz Frederico
Published: September 2024

A noção hipótese da Metáfora Epistêmica foi originalmente proposta para descrever processos metafóricos subjacentes à produção de conhecimentos científicos. Elaborada por Hector Palma, esta noção apresenta-se como um processo em duas etapas: uma bissociação sincrônica (junção de duas ideias pertencentes a campos conceituais distintos) seguida de uma literalização diacrônica (estabilização de signifcado ao longo do tempo). O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a plausibilidade da referida hipótese no âmbito intracientífico da Física. Para tal finalidade, consideramos o episódio referente à gênese do conceito de spin do elétron, proferindo a análise de materiais historiográficos, históricos e didáticos, buscando evidenciar o referido processo metafórico. O tema em questão é relevante por tratar-se de um conceito puramente quântico, ou seja, não possui análogo clássico. Adicionalmente, as pesquisas relacionadas ao ensino de Física Moderna e Contemporânea vêm indicando a necessidade de propostas didáticas voltadas para a formação de professores, que entendemos ser possível explorar por meio da metáfora epistêmica, já que tal objeto põe em evidência elementos históricos, filosóficos e conceituais. A metodologia empregada na análise consistiu em correlacionar trechos (frases, equações, imagens etc.) extraídos da base documental da pesquisa com um conjunto de categorias analíticas que refletem aspectos estruturais e conceituais do fenômeno metafórico investigado. Durante a análise, identificamos 147 trechos que, organizados em 11 categorias analíticas, consubstanciam o objeto metafórico em questão. Assim, consideramos que o resultado da análise indica a plausibilidade da hipótese considerada.
Unheard Voices of the Young Egyptian Brothers
Authors: Abdelgawad Doha
Published: September 2024

Drawing upon extensive fieldwork, this book unveils the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood intra-dynamics by examining the emerging pathways of political disengagement and radicalization in the aftermath of 2013 Coup. It explores how the 2011 waves of protest and the 2013 military takeover of power – two contradictory phases, in terms of their implications for political Islam – shaped young members’ perceptions towards Egyptian politics, violence and the role of Islamic political groups. This offers a key to understanding the ideological and strategic evolution of Islamists, in alignment with regional changes such as the rise of transnational jihadist groups and the fading of popular protest in the Arab region. The book relies on Social Movement Theory and contentious politics literature to develop a relational approach for analysing the positionalities of the young Brothers. This elucidates change within Islamic groups as a multi-layered, evolving phenomenon that cannot be attributed solely to either ideological or structural changes, but rather to manifold factors operating at different levels. It also rejects the prevailing binary classification of moderate versus radical activism when seeking to understand the effects of repression on the trajectories of Islamic movements’ members.

Islamic Feminism
Authors: Al-Sharmani Mulki
Published: September 2024

Mulki Al-Sharmani undertakes a close textual analysis of the hermeneutics of selected Islamic feminism scholars as they engage with the Qur’an, Hadith, and different textual genres in Islamic interpretive tradition.She focuses on the relevant works of nine prominent scholars located in North America, Egypt, Morocco, and South Africa.

Bringing their works into conversation with one another, Islamic Feminism critically examines the epistemological and methodological contributions and challenges of these scholars. Al-Sharmani shows how these scholars’ engagements with the question of gender also yields new insights into the interplay between Islamic theology, ethics, and law. Drawing on extensive multi-sited ethnographic research, Al-Sharmani examines the societal significance and limits of the studied scholarship and how it informs and is informed by multidimensional Muslim gender activism in both global and local contexts. Towards the latter aim, Al-Sharmani focuses on two case studies: the global movement Musawah, and Egyptian Islamic feminism in the aftermath of the 2011 Revolution.
Pupil Premium Plus for Children in Care
Authors: Taylor Benjamin
Published: September 2024

Children in care (CiC), or looked after children, in England achieve less well than their non-looked after peers and as such they receive pupil premium plus funding.

This book explores how the pupil premium plus is used to support the educational outcomes of CiC, with specific focus on professionals’ planning processes, the supports and interventions funded using pupil premium plus, and how the impact of the funding is tracked and monitored. It draws on empirical data from semi-structured interviews with designated CiC teachers, social workers, and school heads, and document analysis of 20 school pupil premium strategies. Ben Taylor uses educational theory to analyse the data, drawing on humanist theories, social pedagogy and critical pedagogy to identify key themes in the data including race and class. He argues that pupil premium plus is valued by professionals, who care deeply about CiC. He shows how it is seen as an important and supportive tool which goes beyond the academic to include social and emotional interventions and curriculum enrichment.
Rethinking Religious Conversion
Authors: Williams Jack
Published: September 2024

Drawing on methods from religious studies, philosophy, and cognitive science, Jack Williams develops a unique and interdisciplinary approach to the study of religious conversion. This is the first major philosophical study of conversion to treat the phenomenon as a long-term process, shaped by the convert’s embodiment and immersion in a linguistic, social, and ritual community.

Williams’ analysis of the conversion process is rooted in a view of cognition as both embodied and affective, and is informed by the latest research in phenomenology, affect theory, neuroscience, and enactivist cognitive science. In conversation with diverse conversion narratives, he advances a theory of conversion that is not restricted to a modern, Western context but that can be applied to experiences of conversion across global history and culture.

Rethinking Religious Conversiondisplays an original approach to the philosophical study of diverse religious practices. By bringing together a diverse array of contemporary and historical scholarship, it revitalizes the study of conversion for both philosophy and religious studies.
Living a Marxist Life
Authors: Pendakis Andrew
Published: September 2024

The last ten years have seen a dramatic upsurge of interest in socialist theory and politics.As a recentWashington Postop-ed put it, “We are living in a new social democratic moment”. People are increasingly drawn to Marxist theory but find it difficult to imagine how it can be integrated practically into an everyday life pervaded by capitalist norms and social practices. Often intuitively, they agree with Marx’s critique of capitalism, but don’t know how to bridge the gap between their sense of dissatisfaction with the present and a revolutionary solution which can feel indefinitely postponed and remote.

Living a Marxist Liferesponds to this disconnect by framing Marxism not as a mere “theory” but as a practical philosophical truth—a lived practice that immediately changes the reality of those experimenting with it. From Frida Kahlo to Jean-Luc Godard, Pablo Picasso to Angela Davis, Marxists are not dry theoreticians but embodied agents of a process that is as intensely imaginative and joyful as it is demanding and difficult. This book, then, is a chronicle of radical change—a record of the ways our thoughts, habits, desires, actions, and emotions can be fundamentally reshaped by an encounter with Marx.

This book is not an introduction to Marx, nor a systematic defense of Marxism. Rather, it is a self-help book that calls into question the very idea of self-help, a guide to the good life that rejects normative morality, and an inspirational manual that promotes philosophy, sociology, and politics, not vague spirituality or religion, as solutions to the urgent problems that face us.
Politics of Language
Authors: Bozia Eleni
Published: September 2024

Examining the identity and belonging of native and non-native speakers of Greek during the time of the High Roman Empire, Eleni Bozia closely studies grammarians, lexicographers and literary writers who used Attic Greek.

Bozia argues that transculturalism and translingualism created a new space for both the naturalised and native citizenry. In the act of imitating, emulating and recreating Attic Greek, speakers formed a socio-politically distinct and nuanced mode of expression in the social echelons of the Roman world.

Additionally, this is the first book to explore Greek and Latin texts from both a philological and a computational linguistics perspective. The result is a consideration of how imitation and innovation affect the social positioning of native and bilingual speakers. As such, this combined reading of data derived from classical studies in conjunction with computational linguistics, offers the context of how to serve a new interpretation of our understanding and appreciation of identity.

‘Where are you really from?’: a question that straddles eras and geographical borders. This book examines the identity and belonging of non-native speakers of Greek during the time of the High Roman Empire and argues that translingualism and transculturalism create a new space for the naturalised Roman citizenry.

Bozia focuses on Attic Greek and its evolution into a newly formed and socio-politically nuanced mode of expression. Speakers imitate, emulate, and recreate Classical Attic through Greekness, Romanness, and otherness to claim a place in the social echelons of the Roman world. This work closely studies grammarians, lexicographers, and literary writers of the Empire who discuss language and navigate its politics. Additionally, it features a computational analysis of basic stylistic characteristics of Classical and Imperial Atticism in different authors to determine the degree of imitation and innovation. Then, it considers how that reflects on the social positioning of non-native speakers.

This book offers a combined reading of data derived from classical studies, also studied using computational linguistics. Ultimately, the computational results are retranslated into a humanities context to serve a new interpretation in our appreciation of identity and its politics.
We Need to Talk About Defence
Authors: Curtis Andrew R
Published: September 2024

Based on a distinguished 35-year career in the RAF as an Air Commodore, Andrew R. Curtis highlights what is wrong with the way defence is managed today, and presents evidence-based proposals to fix it.

Defence is failing to deliver. From the ability of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to develop defence policy, to the single service's - Royal Navy, British Army, and Royal Air Force (RAF) - ability to acquire and maintain military capability, and undertake military operations. This is not a new problem; indeed, ever since the creation of the MoD in 1964, there have been tensions between the department of state and the armed forces over allocations of responsibility, authority and accountability.

Concerned with political oversight; the allocation of responsibility, authority, and accountability; administration of people; organisational structures; and policies and processes, Curtis compellingly demonstrates the critical need to reform the management of Defence for the UK’s armed forces to fight and win in the future.
Organised Politics, Law and Practice
Authors: Gillie Tom
Published: September 2024

This is the first comprehensive guide to the rules of organised political activity in Britain and the standards of conduct expected of those involved in it.

Organised politics involves not only political parties (their members, leaders, officials, and elected representatives in local and national governments) but also trade unions, charities, lobbyists and others. This book codifies the statutory and case law regulating their activity, including much not addressed elsewhere.

It provides detailed and practical guidance on establishing and operating political parties, the rights of party members and powers of committees, electing party leaders, selecting candidates, party discipline, controlling political factions, holding meetings, political campaigning by charities and trade unions, lobbying, Parliamentary conduct and standards, and other matters.

This accessible guide is designed for those needing to ensure that political office-holders act lawfully, for those who want to hold them to account, for lawyers, politicians (eg MPs, peers, local councillors, mayors, and electoral candidates) ordinary party members and others involved in political activity, and for students and everyone interested in how politics works.
Critical Minerals, Sustainability, and the Energy Transition in the Global South
Authors: Nakanwagi Susan
Published: September 2024

This book addresses the relationship between efficient management of critical minerals and sustainability in the Global South, including Sub-Saharan Africa.

Critical minerals are essential raw materials for the technologies that are pivotal in today's energy transition. However, critical mineral host states and communities face social, economic, ecological, political, technological, and governance injustices. The book contends that the criteria currently used in assessing criticality and critical mineral development do not fulfil the sustainable development ambitions of developing countries and that broader considerations must be taken into account to include the stakeholders involved as well as the spatial dimension of the critical mineral value chain.

In particular, the book argues that the law must consider the broader context in which minerals become critical to particular processes. It positions this argument within the current context of climate change, the just energy transition, the minerals-energy nexus, and geopolitical tensions.

By analysing the copper-cobalt value chain through case studies on DRC, Zambia, China, and the EU, the book provides new avenues for critical mineral development and acknowledges the necessity for sustainability amidst the exacerbated impacts of climate change.

Addressing a key challenge of the global energy transition, the book argues for a just holistic framework, which includes parameters such as domestic value addition, human rights in business development, environmental sensitivity, the development of communication channels from remote marginalised communities to international policymakers, and the re-designing of criticality considerations beyond supply and economic aspects.
Danish EU Opt-Outs
Authors: Thorning Christian
Published: September 2024

This book offers the first comprehensive legal study dedicated to the understanding of the Danish EU opt-outs.

The impact of these is significant, falling as they do within Union citizenship, the euro, defense cooperation and the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. Through a re-examination of the opt-outs individually, collectively and temporally, the book sheds light on their legal design and their interplay between international law, EU law and national law. This pioneering book takes a legal-doctrinal approach, which provides readers with a solid understanding of the opt-outs. Academics, judges and European Union civil servants will find this invaluable.

In 1992, the Danish electorate rejected the approval of the then new Maastricht Treaty. This meant that the anticipated European Union could not be established unless a special solution was found to accommodate the Danish concerns. Such a solution was agreed already in December 1992, which subsequently enabled the Maastricht Treaty to be ratified the following year. Denmark, however, was left with four opt-outs, on Union citizenship, the euro, defence cooperation and within the area of Justice and Home Affairs, now the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ).

Through a re-examination of the opt-outs individually, collectively and temporally, this book examines the complex legal journey they have undertaken as a consequence of the European integration process, and discusses their legal effects in EU law. Light is shed on the opt-outs’ interplay with international law, EU law and national (Danish) law, including the issue of referenda. New legal viewpoints and propositions are offered with a view to closing gaps in the legal understanding and eradicating misconceptions, some of which relate to a mix-up with the former special position of the United Kingdom and, as far as the AFSJ is concerned, the current opt-in position of Ireland. Jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on the issue of exclusive external competence in light of the AFSJ opt-out is discussed, as is the role of the opt-out in relation to the Brexit agreements. The legal issues pertinent to the Danish abolition of the defence opt-out in June 2023 are accounted for.

This book forms the first comprehensive analysis of the Danish opt-outs, and the author argues that they hold legal significance in EU law in several ways, including as a novelty in the evolution of EU treaty law as well as a contribution to differentiated integration with a twist of ’legal schizophrenia’; yet they should also be seen as a tool of their time and therefore not necessarily as templates that can be copy-pasted.

Puebloan Society of Chaco Canyon
Authors: Reed Paul F.
Published: September 2024

To veteran travelers of the American Southwest, the name Chaco Canyon invokes an inaccessible, vast land of tremendous vistas and huge, empty stone houses. Today, the Canyon appears as a barren land and most visitors are struck by its apparent inhospitable nature. Yet almost 1000 years ago, during the Medieval period, Chaco Canyon was the hub of a flourishing Pueblo Indian society, with 12 multi-story great houses built of stone and wood, a dozen great kivas (large, subterranean ceremonial structures), and hundreds of smaller habitation sites, pueblos along the intermittent drainage known today as Chaco Wash. This society peaked in the year AD 1100, when more than 150 Chacoan towns, in addition to the 12 great houses in Chaco Canyon, and perhaps 30,000 people across the greater San Juan Basin of the southwestern United States were affiliated with Chaco. This landmass, which extends across portions of the four modern states of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado, is roughly equal in size to the country of Ireland.

Chacoan society endured for more than 200 hundred years, evolving and changing in the period from AD 950 to about 1150. The peak of Chacoan society can be more narrowly dated from AD 1020 to 1130. Undoubtedly, many leaders came and went during these hundred years. But, we have no written records to name these leaders. Unlike the history of other continents, in the Americas, the absence of written aboriginal languages means that written chronologies of the events, processes, and lives of people do not exist. This simple fact makes reconstruction and understanding of America's pre-European past very challenging. The archaeological record does speak to us. Thematic chapters guide readers to the emergence of Chacoan society, its cultural and environmental settings, and the Pueblo people. Other chapters detail what is known of Chacoan society c. 1100, how it was settled, and where its people probably dispersed to. Also, given the nature of the topic, information about the discovery and investigations of Chacoan society by Europeans and Americans is provided. An annotated timeline provides easy reference to key dates and events. Biographical sketches offer a look at the people who have formed our thoughts about and approaches to Chacoan society, and twenty annotated excerpted primary and secondary documents walk readers through Canyon related material. A glossary of terms is provided, as are illustrations and maps. The work concludes with recommended sources for further inquiry, websites, video, and print.

Trail of Tears and Indian Removal
Authors: Sturgis Amy H.
Published: September 2024

In 1838, the U.S. Government began to forcibly relocate thousands of Cherokees from their homelands in Georgia to the Western territories. The event the Cherokees called The Trail Where They Cried meant their own loss of life, sovereignty, and property. Moreover, it allowed visions of Manifest Destiny to contradict the government's previous civilization campaign policy toward American Indians. The tortuous journey West was one of the final blows causing a division within the Cherokee nation itself, over civilization and identity, tradition and progress, east and west. The Trail of Tears also introduced an era of Indian removal that reshaped the face of Native America geographically, politically, economically, and socially.

Engaging thematic chapters explore the events surrounding the Trail of Tears and the era of Indian removal, including the invention of the Cherokee alphabet, the conflict between the preservation of Cherokee culture and the call to assimilate, Andrew Jackson's imperial presidency, and the negotiation of legislation and land treaties. Biographies of key figures, an annotated bibliography, and an extensive selection of primary documents round out the work.

To Establish Justice for All
Authors: Johnson ,   Jr. Earl
Published: September 2024

American statesman Sargent Shriver called the Legal Services Program the "most important" of all the War on Poverty programs he started; American Bar Association president Edward Kuhn said its creation was the most important development in the history of the legal profession. Earl Johnson Jr., a former director of the War on Poverty's Legal Services Program, provides a vivid account of the entire history of civil legal aid from its inception in 1876 to the current day. The first to capture the full story of the dramatic, ongoing struggle to bring equal justice to those unable to afford a lawyer, this monumental three-volume work covers the personalities and events leading to a national legal aid movement—and decades later, the federal government's entry into the field, and its creation of a unique institution, an independent Legal Services Corporation, to run the program. The narrative also covers the landmark court victories the attorneys won and the political controversies those cases generated, along with the heated congressional battles over the shape and survival of the Legal Services Corporation. In the final chapters, the author assesses the current state of civil legal aid and its future prospects in the United States.
