Torchwood One - we defend the British Empire. We keep everyone
safe. For your own good. Something's happened. Something's twisted
its way into Torchwood One. Something old. Something which should
have been forgotten, wiped, abandoned. Something which has been
waiting. Something which knows how the world should be ruled, how
people should be used. When humanity's threatened, Yvonne Hartman
is required. Torchwood One was first referenced in the hugely-rated
modern Doctor Who stories Army of Ghosts and Doomsday. This is a
second look at the London-based team before those events after
2016's Torchwood One -Before The Fall. Contains three stories: The
Law Machines by Matt Fitton. The Mayor of London is launching her
bold new law and order initiative. The capital will be kept safe
from crime, from fear, from terrorists. The Law Machines are
launching. What could possibly go wrong? Blind Summit by Gareth
David-Lloyd. Ianto Jones has just moved to London. He's broke, has
no friends, no future. One day he loses the one thing he's been
holding on to, and suddenly people around him are dying. Could a
mysterious woman really offer him salvation? 9 to 5 by Tim Foley.
It's Monday morning. Stacey loves Mondays. Stacey loves every day.
Stacey lives to work. She's a temp and she loves it. Only there's a
man in the coffee queue who has a terrible warning for her. Stacey
is going to die today. CAST: Tracy-Ann Oberman (Yvonne Hartman),
Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto Jones), Jane Asher (Elaine), Paterson

What does it mean to be a Navajo (Dine) person today? What does it
mean to "respect tradition"? How can a contemporary life be
informed by the traditions of the past? These are the kinds of
questions addressed by contributors to this unusual and
pathbreaking book.
All of the contributors are coming to personal terms with a phrase
that underpins the matrix of Dine culture: "Sa'ah Naaghai Bik'eh
Hozh""o""o""n"." "Often referred to simply as SNBH, the phrase can
be translated in many ways but is generally understood to mean
"one's journey of striving to live a long, harmonious life." The
book offers a variety of perspectives of Dine men and women on the
Dine cultural paradigm that is embedded in SNBH. Their writings
represent embodied knowledge grounded in a way of knowing that
connects thought, speech, experience, history, tradition, and land.
Some of the contributors are scholars. Some are Dine who are
fighting for justice and prosperity for the Navajo Nation. Some are
poets and artists. They are united in working to preserve both
intellectual and cultural sovereignty for Dine peoples. And their
contributions exemplify how Indigenous peoples are creatively
applying tools of decolonization and critical research to re-create
Indigenous thought and culture in a present day that rarely
resembles the days of their ancestors.
More than 300,000 people self-identify as Dine today. Every one
must grapple with how to make a life that acknowledges "Sa'ah
Naaghai Bik'eh Hozh""o""o""n." "Dine"" Perspectives" is unique in
bringing such personal journeys to the public eye.
