Teo wouldn’t mind taking Aurelio down a notch or two, but a one-in-ten chance of death is a bit too close for Teo’s taste.īut then, for the first time in over a century, Sol chooses a semidiós who isn’t a Gold. He also can’t help but worry (reluctantly, and under protest) for Aurelio, a powerful Gold semidiós and Teo’s friend-turned-rival who is a shoo-in for the Trials. His best friend Niya―daughter of Tierra, the god of earth―is one of the strongest heroes of their generation and is much too likely to be chosen this year. Teo, a 17-year-old Jade semidiós and the trans son of Quetzal, goddess of birds, has never worried about the Trials…or rather, he’s only worried for others. The winner carries light and life to all the temples of Reino del Sol, but the loser has the greatest honor of all―they will be sacrificed to Sol, their body used to fuel the Sun Stones that will protect the people of Reino del Sol for the next ten years.

Cindy isn't allowed to attend a rich neighbor's two-day rodeo and square-dance extravaganza-that is, until her fairy godmother wields her magical golden six-gun, yelling, ""Hit the trail, honey! Remember, there ain't no horse that can't be rode and there ain't no man that can't be throwed!"" Lowell's savory slang adds punch to this tale, which stresses the fairy godmother's message that ""magic is plumb worthless without gumption."" Manning (The Witch Who Was Afraid of Witches) enhances this rawhide-and-lace fantasy in illustrations lush with cactus-flower colors and pale maize gold. Freckle-faced Cindy Ellen, a rancher's daughter, mends fences and mucks out the corral, but her new stepmother (who is ""meaner than a rattlesnake"") and two nasty stepsisters do not a lick of work. Lowell (The Three Little Javelinas) takes a fairy-tale heroine away from the hearth and gives her a home on the range-and teaches readers a thing or two about moxie. In the first Haidt and Graham describe their work as looking, as anthropologists, at the evolution of morality and finding the common ground between each variation. The two main sources are "The Pragmatic Validity of Moral Pluralism" (2013) and "Mapping the Moral Domain" (2011). Various scholars have offered moral foundations theory as an explanation of differences among political progressives ( liberals in the American sense), conservatives, and right-libertarians ( libertarians in the American sense), and have suggested that it can explain variation in opinion on politically charged issues such as same-sex marriage and abortion. Īlthough the initial development of moral foundations theory focused on cultural differences, subsequent work with the theory has largely focused on political ideology. Its authors remain open to the addition, subtraction, or modification of the set of foundations. The theory proposes six foundations: Care/Harm, Fairness/Cheating, Loyalty/Betrayal, Authority/Subversion, Sanctity/Degradation, and Liberty/Oppression. It has been subsequently developed by a diverse group of collaborators and popularized in Haidt's book The Righteous Mind. It was first proposed by the psychologists Jonathan Haidt, Craig Joseph, and Jesse Graham, building on the work of cultural anthropologist Richard Shweder. Moral foundations theory is a social psychological theory intended to explain the origins of and variation in human moral reasoning on the basis of innate, modular foundations.
