Synopsis The Tapestry of Reason by : Amalia Amaya
In recent years coherence theories of law and adjudication have been extremely influential in legal scholarship. These theories significantly advance the case for coherentism in law. Nonetheless, there remain a number of problems in the coherence theory in law. This ambitious new work makes the first concerted attempt to develop a coherence-based theory of legal reasoning, and in so doing addresses, or at least mitigates these problems. The book is organized in three parts. The first part provides a critical analysis of the main coherentist approaches to both normative and factual reasoning in law. The second part investigates the coherence theory in a number of fields that are relevant to law: coherence theories of epistemic justification, coherentist approaches to belief revision and theory-choice in science, coherence theories of practical and moral reasoning and coherence-based approaches to discourse interpretation. Taking this interdisciplinary analysis as a starting point, the third part develops a coherence-based model of legal reasoning. While this model builds upon the standard theory of legal reasoning, it also leads to rethinking some of the basic assumptions that characterize this theory, and suggests some lines along which it may be further developed. Thus, ultimately, the book not only improves upon the current state of coherence theory in law, but also contributes to the larger debate about how to articulate a theory of legal reasoning that results in better decision-making.

Synopsis The Tapestry by : Margaret Allen
Enter the enchanted land of the Tapestry, an exquisite wall-hanging fashioned long ago by a master weaver. His creative talent was such that he gifted his work with real life and it is animated every night from sun-down to sun-up. What adventures does it see? Orphaned tragically, a young girl named Selina leaves her home and travels to serve a noblewoman who has her own sad history. The rumours say that her husband abandoned her because he could no longer bear to look at her face which had been disfigured in an accident and which she now hides behind a veil. Selina only sees a kindred spirit in the brief flashes of eyes behind the veil and is willing to obey Lady Isabella. But nothing is ever as it seems and in a twist of fate, Selina discovers the truth: Lady Isabella’s husband never ran into the night - he was lost to her on her wedding night as a result of a spell cast by an evil and jealous sorceress. Only one girl has the power to confront the sorceress and do battle with her for the release and reclamation of Lady Isabella’s husband, body and soul. Selina, it's time to accept your destiny.

Synopsis Heavenly Participation by : Hans Boersma
Surveying the barriers that contemporary thinking has erected between the natural and the supernatural, between earth and heaven, Hans Boersma issues a wake-up call for Western Christianity. Both Catholics and evangelicals, he says, have moved too far away from a sacramental mindset, focusing more on the "here-and-now" than on the "then-and-there." Yet, as Boersma points out, the teaching of Jesus, Paul, and St. Augustine -- indeed, of most of Scripture and the church fathers -- is profoundly otherworldly, much more concerned with heavenly participation than with earthly enjoyment. In Heavenly Participation Boersma draws on the wisdom of great Christian minds ancient and modern -- Irenaeus, Gregory of Nyssa, C. S. Lewis, Henri de Lubac, John Milbank, and many others. He urges Catholics and evangelicals alike to retrieve a sacramental worldview, to cultivate a greater awareness of eternal mysteries, to partake eagerly of the divine life that transcends and transforms all earthly realities.

Synopsis The Tapestry of the Law by : E. Attwooll
Although its concern is jurisprudence, The Tapestry of the Law is intended to offer neither an original theory of or about law nor an account of other people's theories in textbook form. It is, rather, an attempt to approach the subject without following either of these conventions. The reasons are as follows. Those engaged in legal theory are prone to assert that one cannot properly understand the law unless one takes a jurisprudential approach - preferably their own - to it. Equally, those engaged in exposition of the law may counter that legal theory fails to pay adequate attention to actual law. There is at least some truth in these claims. Analyses, courses and textbooks on both sides do often seem to be produced without reference to the other. Yet such isolation is probably more apparent than real. Most, if not all, so-called "black letter" lawyers do operate on the basis of certain jurisprudential understandings, even if these are not articulated ones. In the frequently quoted words ofF C S Northrop: There are lawyers, judges and even law professors who tell us they have no legal philosophy.

Synopsis Indigenous Knowledge and Ethnomathematics by : Eric Vandendriessche
The book presents a series of ethnographic studies, which illustrate issues of wider importance, such as the role of cultural traditions, concepts and learning procedures in the development of formal (or mathematical) thinking outside of the western tradition. It focuses on research at the crossroads of anthropology and ethnomathematics to document indigenous mathematical knowledge and its inclusion in specific cultural patterns. More generally, the book demonstrates the heuristic value of crossing ethnographical, anthropological and ethnomathematical approaches to highlight and analyze—or "formalize" with a pedagogical outlook—indigenous mathematical knowledge. The book is divided into three parts. The first part extensively analyzes theoretical claims using particular ethnographic data, while revealing the structural mathematical features of different ludic, graphic, or technical/procedural practices in their links to other cultural phenomena. In the second part, new empirical studies that add data and perspectives from the body of studies on indigenous knowledge systems to the ongoing discussions in mathematics education in and for diverse cultural traditions are presented. This part considers, on the one hand, the Brazilian work in this field; on the other hand, it brings ethnographic innovation from other parts of the world. The third part comprises a broad philosophical discussion of the impact of intuitive or "ontological" premises on mathematical thinking and education in the light of recent developments within so-called indigenously inspired thinking. Finally, the editors’ conclusions aim to invite the broad and diversified field of scholars in this domain of research to seek alternative approaches for understanding mathematical reasoning and the adjacent adequate educational goals and means. This book is of interest to scholars and students in anthropology, ethnomathematics, history and philosophy of science, mathematics, and mathematics education, as well as other individuals interested in these topics.

Synopsis The Tapestry of Odette by : Nika Engel
The story of Odette, a schizophrenic girl caught between a cold reality in an abusive foster home and a bizarre set of fantasies where she is considered a god by her creations. But the intentions of the inhabitants of her psyche, divided into two warring factions, are even less clear than those of the people she encounters in her real world of school and never-ending therapy, which is ruled by her charismatic and psychotic best friend Anna. Her ability to distinguish between the two becomes gradually worse as her real life deteriorates and the complexities of her hallucinations increase. She finds herself both unwilling to choose a side and unable to influence the decisions of the two faction's leaders; Alexander, a cunning and manipulative High Priest, and Amelia, a ruthless assassin, who both wish to use her as a pawn to further their own goals.
