In 1939, as Hitler casts his enormous, cruel shadow across the world, the seeds of apartheid take root in South Africa. There, a boy called Peekay is born. His childhood is marked by humiliation and abandonment, yet he vows to survive and conceives heroic dreams–which are nothing compared to what life actually has in store for him. He embarks on an epic journey through a land of tribal superstition and modern prejudice where he will learn the power of words, the power to transform lives, and the power of one.
"Totally engrossing . . . [presents] the metamorphosis of a most remarkable young man and the almost spiritual influence he has on others . . . Peekay has both humor and a refreshingly earthy touch, and his adventures, at times, are hair-raising in their suspense."

1939: Northern Transvaal, South Africa
This is what happened.
My Zulu nanny was a person made for laughter, warmth and softness and before my life started properly she would clasp me to her breasts and stroke my golden curls with a hand so large it seemed to contain my whole head. My hurts were soothed with a song about a brave young warrior hunting a lion and a women's song about doing the washing down on the rock beside the river where, at sunset, the baboons would come out of the hills to drink.
My life proper started at the age of five when my mother had her nervous breakdown. I was torn from my black nanny with her big white smile and taken from my grandfather's farm and sent to boarding school.
Then began a time of yellow wedges of pumpkin burned black and bitter at the edges; mashed potato with glassy lumps; meat aproned with gristle in gray gravy; diced carrots; warm, wet, flatulent cabbage; beds that wet themselves in the morning; and an entirely new sensation called loneliness.
I was the youngest child in the school by two years and spoke only English while the other children spoke Afrikaans, the language of the Boers, which was the name for the Dutch settlers in South Africa. They called the English settlers Rooinecks, which means "Redneck,'' because in the Boer War, which had happened forty years before between the English and the Dutch settlers, the pale-skinned English troopers got very sunburned and their necks turned bright red.
The English won this war, but it was a terrible struggle and it created a hatred for them by the Boers, which was carried over into the generations that followed. So, here I was, someone who only spoke the language of the people they hated most of all in the world. I was the first Rooineck the Afrikaner kids had ever seen and, I'm telling you, I was in a lot of trouble.
On the first night of boarding school, I was taken by two eleven-year-olds to the seniors' dormitory, to stand trial. I stood there shaking like billy-o and gibbering, unable to understand the language of the twelve-year-old judge, or the reason for the hilarity when the sentence was pronounced. But I guessed the worst. I had been caught deep behind enemy lines and even a five-year-old knows this means the death sentence.
I wasn't quite sure what death was. I knew it was something that happened on the farm in the slaughterhouse to pigs and goats and an occasional heifer and I'd seen it happen often enough to chickens. The squeal from the pigs was so awful that I knew it wasn't much of an experience, even for pigs.
And I knew something else for sure; death wasn't as good as life. Now death was about to happen to me before I could really get the hang of life. Trying hard to hold back my tears, I was dragged off to the shower room. I had never been in a shower room before; it resembled the slaughterhouse on my grandfather's farm and I guessed this was where my death would take place. I was told to remove my pajamas and to kneel inside the recess facing the wall. I looked down into the hole in the floor where all the blood would drain away. I closed my eyes and said a silent, sobbing prayer. My prayer wasn't to God but to my nanny. I felt a sudden splash on my neck and then warm blood trickled over my trembling body. Funny, I didn't feel dead. But who knows what dead feels like?
When the Judge and his council of war had all pissed on me, they left. After a while it got very quiet, just a drip, drip from someplace overhead. I didn't know how to turn the shower on and so had no way of washing myself. At the farm I had always been bathed by my nanny in a tin tub in front of the kitchen stove. She'd soap me all over and Dee and Dum, the two kitchen maids who were twins, would giggle behind their hands when she soaped my little acorn. This was how I knew it was a special part of me. Just how special I was soon to find out. I tried to dry myself with my pajamas. My hands were shaking a lot. I wandered around that big dark place until I found the small kids' dormitory. There I crept under my blanket and came to the end of my first day in life.
I awoke next morning to find the other kids surrounding my bed and holding their noses. I'm telling you, I have to admit it myself, I smelt worse than a kaffir toilet, worse than the pigs at home. The kids scattered as a very large person with a smudge of dark hair above her lip entered. It was the same lady who had left me in the dormitory the night before. "Good morning, Mevrou!" they chorused in Afrikaans, each standing stiffly to attention at the foot of his bed.
The huge woman tore back my blanket and sniffed. "Why, you wet your bed, boy! Sis, man, you stink!" she bellowed. Then, without waiting for my answer, which, of course, I didn't have, she grabbed me by the ear and led me back to the place where they'd pissed on me the night before. Making me take off my pajamas, she pushed me into a recess. I thought desperately, She's even bigger than Nanny. If she pisses on me I will surely drown. There was a sudden hissing sound and needles of icy water drilled into me. I had my eyes tightly shut but the hail of water was remorseless.
If you don't know what a shower is, and have never had one before, then it's not so hard to believe that maybe this is death. A thousand sharp pricks drilled into my skin. How can so much piss possibly come out of one person, I thought. Funny, it should be warm, but this was icy cold, but then I was no expert on these things.
Then the fierce hissing and the icy deluge stopped suddenly. I opened my eyes to find no Mevrou. The Judge stood before me, his pajama sleeve rolled up, his arm wet where he'd reached to turn off the shower. Behind him stood the jury and all the small kids from my dormitory.
The jury formed a ring around me. My teeth were chattering out of control. The Judge pointed to my tiny acorn. "Why you piss your bed, Rooinek?" he asked.
"Hey, look, there is no hat on his snake!" someone yelled. They all crowded closer.
"Pisskop! Pisskop!"--in a moment all the small kids were chanting.
"You hear, you a pisshead," the Judge translated. "Who cut the hat off your snake, Pisskop?"
I looked down. All seemed perfectly normal to me. I looked up at the Judge, confused. The Judge parted his pajama fly. His large "snake" seemed to be a continuous sheath brought down to a point of ragged skin. I must say, it wasn't much of a sight.
More trouble lay ahead of me for sure. I was a Rooinek and a pisskop. I spoke the wrong language. And now I was obviously made differently. But I was still alive, and in my book, where there's life, there's hope.
By the end of the first term I had reduced my persecution to no more than an hour a day. I had the art of survival almost down pat. Except for one thing: I had become a bed wetter. It is impossible to become a perfect adapter if you leave a wet patch behind you every morning.
My day would begin with a bed-wetting caning from Mevrou, a routine that did serve a useful purpose. I learned that crying is a luxury good adapters have to forgo, and I soon had the school record for being thrashed. The Judge said so. I wasn't just a hated Rooinek and a pisskop, I was also a record holder.
The Judge ordered that I only be beaten up a little at a time, and if I could stop being a pisskop he'd stop even that, although he added that, for a Rooinek, this was probably impossible. I was inclined to agree. No amount of resolve on my part seemed to have the least effect.
The end of the first term finally came. I was to return home for the May holidays: home to Nanny, who would listen to my sadness and sleep on her mat at the foot of my bed so the bogeyman couldn't get me. I also intended to inquire whether my mother had stopped breaking down so I would be allowed to stay home.
I rode home joyfully in Dr. "Henny" Boshoff's shiny Chevrolet coupe. As we choofed along, I was no longer a Rooinek and a pisskop but became a great chief. Life was very good. It was Dr. Henny who had first told me about the nervous breakdown, and he now confirmed that my mother was "coming along nicely" but she wouldn't be home just yet. Sadly this put the kibosh on my chances of staying home.
When I arrived at the farm Nanny wept and held me close. It was late summer. The days were filled with song as the field women picked cotton, working their way down the long rows, singing in perfect harmony while they plucked the fluffy white fiber heads from the sun-blackened cotton bolls.
When Nanny couldn't solve a problem for me she'd say, "We must ask Inkosi-Inkosikazi, the great medicine man, he will know what to do." Now Nanny sent a message to Inkosi-Inkosikazi to the effect that we urgently needed to see him on the matter of the child's night water. The message was put on the drums and in two days we heard that Inkosi-Inkosikazi would call in a fortnight or so on his way to visit Modjadji, the great rain queen. The whites of Nanny's eyes would grow big and her cheeks puff out as she talked about the greatness of the medicine man. "He will dry your bed with one throw of the shinbones of the great white ox," she promised.
"Will he also grow skin over my acorn?" I demanded. She clutched me to her breast, her answer lost as she chortled all over me.
The problem of the night water was much discussed by the field women. "Surely a grass sleeping mat will dry in the morning sun? This is not a matter of proper concern for the greatest medicine man in Africa." It was all right for them, of course. They didn't have to go back to the Judge and Mevrou.
Almost two weeks to the day, Inkosi-Inkosikazi arrived in his big black Buick, symbol of his enormous power and wealth, even to the Boers, who despised him yet feared his magic.
All that day the field women brought gifts of food: kaffir corn, squash, native spinach, watermelons, bundles of dried tobacco leaf--and six scrawny kaffir chickens, mostly tough old roosters, their legs tied and their wings clipped.
One scrawny old cock with mottled gray feathers looked very much like my granpa, except for his eyes. Granpa's eyes were pale blue, intended for gazing over soft English landscapes; that old rooster's were sharp as beads of red light.
My granpa came down the steps and walked toward the big Buick. He stopped to kick one of the roosters, for he hated kaffir chickens. His pride and joy were his one hundred black Orpington hens and six giant roosters.
He greatly admired Inkosi-Inkosikazi, who had once cured him of his gallstones. "Never a trace of a gallstone since," he declared. "If you ask me, the old monkey is the best damned doctor in the lowveld."
The old medicine man, like Nanny, was a Zulu. It was said he was the last son of the great Dingaan, the Zulu king who fought both the Boers and the British to a standstill. Two generations after the Boers had finally defeated his Impi at the Battle of Blood River, they remained in awe of Dingaan.
Two years after the battle, Dingaan, reeling from the combined forces of his half brother Mpande and the Boers, had sought refuge among the Nyawo people on the summit of the great Lebombo mountains. On the night he was treacherously assassinated by Nyawo tribesmen he had been presented with a young virgin, and his seed was planted in her womb.
"Where I chose blood, this last of my sons will choose wisdom. You will call him Inkosi-Inkosikazi, he will be a man for all Africa," Dingaan had told the Nyawo maiden.
This made the small, wizened black man who was being helped from the Buick one hundred years old.
Inkosi-Inkosikazi was dressed in a mismatched suit, the jacket brown, the trousers blue pinstripe. A mangy leopard-skin cloak fell from his shoulders. In his right hand he carried a beautifully beaded fly switch, the symbol of an important chief. His hair was whiter than raw cotton, tufts of snowy beard sprang from his chin and only three yellowed teeth remained in his mouth. His eyes burned sharp and clear, like the eyes of the old rooster.
My granpa briefly welcomed Inkosi-Inkosikazi and granted him permission to stay overnight on the farm. The old man nodded, showing none of the customary obsequiousness expected from a kaffir, and my granpa shook the old man's bony claw and returned to his chair on the stoep.
Nanny, who had rubbed earth on her forehead like all the other women, finally spoke. "Lord, the women have brought food and we have beer freshly fermented."
Inkosi-Inkosikazi ignored her, which I thought was pretty brave of him, and ordered one of the women to untie the cockerels. With a squawking and flapping of stunted wings all but one rose and dashed helter-skelter toward open territory. The old cock who looked like Granpa rose slowly, then, calm as you like, he walked over to a heap of corn and started pecking away.
"Catch the feathered devils," Inkosi-Inkosikazi suddenly commanded.
With squeals of delight the chickens were rounded up again. The ice had been broken as five of the women, each holding a chicken upside down by the legs, waited for the old man's instructions. Inkosi-Inkosikazi squatted down and with his finger traced five circles, each about two feet in diameter, in the dust, muttering incantations. Then he signaled for one of the women to bring over a cockerel. Grabbing the old bird and using its beak as a marker, he retraced the first circle on the ground, then laid the cockerel inside the circle, where it lay unmoving. He proceeded to do the same thing to the other four chickens until each lay in its own circle. As each chicken was laid to rest there would be a gasp of amazement from the women.

Very disappointed that the nook book was not the complete book...
I had the same experience trying to purchase for my Nook. the young edition was not what I expected.
This is a great book, please read it! But if you have a Nook and are looking forward to the full story....you will be disapointed. I purchased this book for my Nook and it turned out to be the shortened (school book) version. I am very disapointed that this was not better labeled and that the full version is not offered on the nook.
I had a project in my World History class, we were required to read a historical fiction novel. I never really read much historical fiction books. I just so happen to find this book at Barnes & Nobles and read all the great reviews about it. At first glance this looked like the size of my algebra text book. But after the first chapter I was hooked. I had to know more, I had to keep going. I couldn't put the book down! This novel following Peekay to when he is 5, until he is free from the Judge, and all the people he met, the lives he changed, and the lives he would touch. I really don't know what to say about this book, other than it capturing my imagination and almost making me tear up at parts. I'm 15, rather short, and asian. At times I could almost relate to what Peekay felt. This novel is just so powerful, in feelings and emotional. It almost reaches out and pulls you into it. Though whe i reached the last few pages, I got really upset because it was about to end. I didn't want it to end... 'First with the head then with the heart' -Hoppie
The power of One by Bryce Courtenay is a very deep and thoughtful book with tranquility and culture. It is a very emotional book and been developed into a movie. It shows that even in the depths of hatred, a little boy can become something big. I really liked that the author put lots of history into this book. The locations and racism were all things that really happened. It spans from the end of World War II to a few decades after. This book shows a place that is out of reach of Hitler's Nazi party, but is still affected by it, and dealing with the aftermath. It has a lot of culture, such as when the author uses practices from different African tribes and where the main character can speak different languages. The main character brings together the different tribes of Africa and unites them. He becomes known as a reborn war chief, set to free the Africans, because he speaks for the people. He suffers many losses, but he rises out of those losses and helps the people. The main character is a boxer, and he fights for the people of Africa. He has never lost a fight, because he is the symbol of freedom, and freedom never loses. It starts with a simple idea that a friend placed in his head, like a revolution, and it grew until he was he was fighting to become a winner, to win the championship, and win the revolution. Something I do not like in this movie is how the child talks in the beginning. It is almost as if he cannot do anything about his situation, like he's given up. He also puts too much faith in things that are not to be trusted. As a kid, he put all his faith in his pet chicken, which later died. Overall, this was an amazing book, and I think it shows the true spirit of Africa.
The Power of One is one of the greatest books I have ever read. I first read it over a summer vacation and I fell in love with it. Although the story can be graphic at times the story is one that all people should know. It is full of highs and lows that make your heart wrench and soar; Bryce Courtenay is a literary master in this regard. I would have to say that this is a must read for all people over the age of 13 because it is truly shows that nothing can hold you back if you try your best and have the right people to surround you.
A boy born in 1939 South Africa comes of age. I nominate it for best novel of all the ones that I have read. I am actually still reading it, but saw the film version, which is think is the best film that I ever saw. Don't miss it either one. If you are looking for a book gift for a boy or young man, he'll love this. It has Zulu wisdom and wisdom of Peekay's grandfather. Peekay suffers from discrimination - he's British in an Afrikaner boarding school. The stress of it causes bedwetting. On a visit home, his Zula Nanny sends a message to great Zulu medicine man, Inkosi-Inkosikazi about Peekay's night water problem. Two weeks later the Inkosi arrives in his big black Buick. The story of how he cures Peekay's night water and the rest of Peekay's maturing are so wonderful and realistic that I'm sure that you'll love this novel as much as I do.
This is my my favorite book, my husband's favorite book, and everyone we give it to loves it. Even my father, who only reads historical non-fiction, surprised himself by staying up late at night to read it. The little boy is an incredible character - strong, brave, and humorous. The characters are developed so well that I find myself comparing them to friends and family members. This book is great for women and men, teenagers and adults. There is some violence and discussion of apartheid and racism, so while it's an enjoyable read, it's very thought-provoking.
I picked this up on a whim and it is one of the best books that I have read in a long time and one of the most enjoyable ever. It plays off of the history of South Africa very well and includes wonderful characters with passion and depth. Peekay's growth takes us all on a journey of revelation. This can be in everyone's library and should be an important work for all young people.
I absolutely love this book!!! First read it when I was 15 after the movie came out and it has been one of my favorites since then. It's an amazing story and the movie is good but leaves out so much (it is a very long book). If you liked the movie reading the book is a must! I wish that the authors other books were also available in the US especially Tandia which was the sequel for this one (though not as good). I purchased Tandia while living in Thailand and was about 3/4's of the way through it then I lost it in an airport. I really wish I could get a new copy so I could finish it.
This book should be required reading for all high school students or, at least, college freshman. There has obviously been much tension among the various groups of people in the Union of South Africa, and this was a good location for the story as so many racial, ethic and religious groups live in this country. The book provokes much inward thought about ourselves and how we percieve others. This is an excellent book for a group to read and discuss. Although the story line seemed more masculine, I think women would also gain insight from reading the book.
This book was beautifully written and gave a facinating scenic, political, and spiritual look into South Africa around the time of WWII. The first half of the novel was my favorite when Peekay meets his mentors, Hoppie, Doc, and Mrs Boxell all who turn his life around. These central characters question and transend much of the hate and prejudice of the time. Because of this I was very surprised by the ending which to me was a kind of twisted form of justice/revenge. Hate can not be responded to by hate in my opinion...and in the opinion of many characters in the novel, making the ending seem out of place.
This book was one of my favorites! I stayed up late every night reading it! I could never put it down.
If you saw a movie with the same name, IT IS NOT THE SAME STORY! What the movie did to this wonderful story should be grounds for prosecution! There are a few books I have read more than once. There are fewer that I have read repeatedly, those are the books that speak to the parts of me that are most human, those areas that are awakened when the story being told connects with the Myths that help to define me. This is the third time I have read Mr. Courtenay's first novel. Each time I do, I hear the whisper of his tale connecting with The Story lived daily in me and in my world. This is a chronicle of a young boy, at home in a country that does not want his kind, becoming a man, in a time of war and civil turmoil that will define a nation for the next Fifty years, with only his intelligence, physical prowess and a deep determination to become a person defined only by himself. He is an outcast who becomes a symbol of hope and power for a People displaced within their own land. Peekay, as the hero declares his name, is from a once wealthy British family whose wealth was held in his the only home he has known, South Africa. When he was five, his mother became incapable of caring for him; his care-takers send him to a boarding school of such bleakness that it would have frightened Charles Dickens. Having survived that ordeal, he receives word that he is being called home, except the "home" to which he is called is hundreds of kilometers from the one he left. On the train ride to this new place, he befriends a conductor who is also an aspiring boxer. Peekay has the opportunity to witness his first boxing match on this journey and what he sees awakens one of his life's' aims – he will become the Welter-Weight Champion of the World. This is the dream is the engine that will drive him for the rest of our journey with him. Into the strange land he is now required to call "home," amid strangers to care for him, he befriends an aged German music scholar and amateur botanist, "Doc," who becomes the sage/saint/teacher/friend Peekay needs to learn how to blossom into the individual who can harness the power of One that is within him. Along with Doc's tutelage and his determination to become a champion boxer, there is magic that surrounds Peekay, at least in the eyes of the native tribes whose "home" is the land upon which the story unfolds. He is deemed to be Tadpole Angel by "The People," as the natives understand themselves to be. His works in helping them to read and write, feed their families and, eventually, lay waste to those who seek to oppress them, are proof enough that Peekay is the one who can help The People reclaim what was once their homeland but has been laid claim to by those who wish to own what cannot be bought and belongs to everyone. By the time this reader bid Peekay farewell, he was convinced that the Tadpole Angel did possess "The Power of One." The timeliness of this book, each time I have read it, is uncanny. At present, our nation is embroiled in a tug-of-war between whom we can (see) ourselves to be and where we actually are. The lack of servant-leadership, lawlessness, selfish consumerism revealed by our apparent distain for each other magnify the need for a clear, moral Voice to call each of us to attention. We are, each of us, connected to the other; the oppressor imprisons him/herself with those they wish to oppress,
A friend gave me this book in grade 8, when I had no concept of the way things were across history and in other cultures. It made a lasting impact on my life and is still among my all time favourite books. If you like masterful storytelling, intricate details, interwoven storylines, and powerful emotions, you need to read this book.
I am really disappointed that B&N would not make it clear that the ebook version of this book is a condensed version for young readers. My book club chose this book so now I have to buy it in paperback. Grrrrr.....very frustrating.
Disappointed that I only got one half of the book in the nook version. B&N has made a big mistake here by not letting the purchaser know that. Please, if you want the full story, buy it from some other source so that our voices will be heard, in B&N's bottom line, where it will count. If you read the entire book, you will know that it is an excellent book...I have to blame the author here as well, to allow this is just wrong.
This story centered around a boy growing up in South Africa in the 1940's. Gave a good historical and cultural perspective of that time and place. We cared about the characters and the plot was engaging. You really wanted to know what happened next!
I should have read the reviews first; I fell into the trap of buying the condensed junior version. Barnes and Noble needs to fix their site. It looks like the Nook version will be 544 pages long since the paperback and Nook versions are on the same page. Shame on Barnes and Noble!
All the positive reviews here leave me stunned since I thought this was easily one of the most overrated, simplistic, and offensive novels I've ever read. After a reasonably strong and interesting beginning it got stuck in a one-note rut and was just a chore to finish. The book is billed as a triumph of the human spirit over adversity, but aside from the initial hardship at school when Peekay is a small English student among some cruel Boers what adversity is there? OK, he's poor, has no father and his mother is a Jesus freak. But he's also white in South Africa, a near genius, has no flaws, never loses a single boxing match and is surrounded by loving, supportive people who are willing to spend seemingly endless amounts of time nurturing and educating him for no apparent reason. There is none of the real-life tension that comes from overcoming hardship, or dealing with one's own weaknesses. Courtenay, to his credit, consistently attacks bigotry, from the English, the Boers, or the Nazis, be it against blacks, Indians or Jews (although sexism gets only occasional mention in the book). But aside from some small attention paid to the inmate who teaches Peekay to box and his two housekeepers Courtenay doesn't develop a single non-white character. Most of the blacks in the book are one-dimensional, almost caricatures of the "noble savage", who do not develop their own leadership against apartheid as happened historically. (The book extends into the 1950s when the ANC and organizers like Nelson Mandela became a potent force, but that doesn't get a mention.) Instead the blacks literally worship this white student whose main role in the bitter struggle against apartheid seems to come from providing some kind of inexplicable, mystical inspiration, which not surprisingly never rings remotely true and descends to the truly offensive by the end. The black workers, as portrayed by Courtenay, are incapable of fighting for themselves, but have to rely on the generosity and leadership of whites. Courtenay does give some descriptions of the brutality against blacks in prison and the workplace, which can be gripping, but in fact spends a lot more time on the tension between the English and the Boers, the "white tribes", than he does in exposing the horrors of apartheid. Peekay, pointlessly not given a real name, in the end is a one-dimensional, larger than life character who's not believable, and Courtenay doesn't muddy the waters with anything real such as weaknesses, mistakes, genuine hardship, or even love or sex. And his final symbol of the triumph over racism in a shockingly brutal ending--the English Union Jack superceding the swastika--ignores the struggle of the oppressed black majority (how many of his fellow Australians share his ardent affection for the Union Jack is something he'd probably rather not think about). The book clearly had high aspirations but didn't reach them. I can only give the book one star for the anti-racism and the effort, and that's a stretch. For truly strong fiction about South Africa, pass Courtenay by and get to Athol Fugard, Nadine Gordimer, or Zakes Mda.
So, why hasn't anyone from Barnes and Noble answered this issue of selling a condensed version without clearly telling the buyers?. And, are these reviews talking about the complete novel or the Nook Book version? Are other Nook Books condensed? How will I be able to tell if I buy it? I prefer to get complete novels but I would like to be able to read them on my Nook.

"A deep problem--ophical rather than factual--stymies all our attemptof life. Scientific generalizations require replication, the demonstration that a given set of forces and substances will yield the same result when brought together under the same conditions. Ideally, we test for replication with time-honored procedures that scientists call controlled experiments-- artificially simplified situations manipulated by human observers to guarantee (within the best of our ability) an exact repetition of all timings, forces and substances. If we achieve the same result in each of several replications, we then gain confidence that we may be witnessing a predictable generality based upon a law of nature. This search for replicates underlies the efforts--and partial successes- -of scientists to synthesize living matter from the presumed chemical constituents in the "primordial soup" of the earth's original oceans. Can we create some rudimentary forms of life by exposing these constituents to known sources of energy (lightning from electrical storms, heat from oceanic vents, for example) under the presumed conditions of the earth's early atmosphere and surface? In this context of accepted scientific procedures, single occurrences present a knotty problem. Their "truth" cannot be denied, but how can we use their existence to assert any generality rather than an explanation for a singular circumstance? .... In developing such evidence, we have explained a unique historical event, but we have not discovered a general law of nature." (Gould, Stephen J.

"Our hypothetical nucleic acid synthesis system is therefore analogous to the scaffolding used in the construction of a building. After the building has been erected the scaffolding is removed, leaving no physical evidence that it was ever there. Most of the statements in this section must therefore be taken as educated guesses.

"Since Darwin's time an understanding of molecular biology and of the geophysics and geochemistry of the prebiotic earth has been gained that would have been unimaginable in the 19th century. Does that make it possible now to follow evolution back into the era before there were organisms? A first answer is no. The prebiotic fossil record, as far as is known, decayed or was wiped clean by later generations of life. The intellectual fossils that remain-the genetic code, the genetic messages of present organisms and the known reaction pathways of biochemistry- convey information so fragmentary that one could never describe prebiotic evolution in as much detail as, say, the evolution of primates.." (Eigen, Manfred [Nobel laureate biochemist, Max Planck Institute, Germany], Gardiner W., Schuster P. & Winkler-Oswatitsch R., "The Origin of Genetic Information," Scientific American, Vol. 244, No. 4, pp.78-94, April 1981, p.78)[top]
"The account of the origin of life that I shall give is necessarily speculative; by definition, nobody was around to see what happened. There are a number of rival theories, but they all have certain features in common." (Dawkins, Richard [Zoologist and Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, Oxford University], "The Selfish Gene," [1976], Oxford University Press: Oxford UK, New Edition, 1989, p.14).[top]
"The evolution of the genetic machinery is the step for which there are no laboratory models; hence one can speculate endlessly, unfettered by inconvenient facts. The complex genetic apparatus in present-day organisms is so universal that one has few clues as to what the apparatus may have looked like in its most primitive form." (Dickerson, Richard E. [Professor of Molecular Biology, University of California, Los Angeles]., "Chemical Evolution and the Origin of Life," Scientific American, Vol. 239, No. 3, September 1978, p.77).[ top]
"Due to this scarcity of financial resources the study of the origins of life has been forced to become a most efficient and cost-effective industry from just a thimble-full of facts the scientists engaged in that study manage to generate a virtually endless supply of theories!" (Scott, Andrew [biochemist and science writer], "The Creation of Life: Past, Future, Alien," Basil Blackwell: Oxford UK, 1986, p.111).[top]
"More than 30 years of experimentation on the origin of life in the fields of chemical and molecular evolution have led to a better perception of the immensity of the problem of the origin of life on Earth rather than to its solution. At present all discussions on principal theories and experiments in the field either end in stalemate or in a confession of ignorance. New lines of thinking and experimentation must be tried." (Dose, Klaus [Director, Institute for Biochemistry, Gutenberg University, Germany], "The Origin of Life: More Questions Than Answers," Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, Vol. 13, No. 4, 1988, p.348).[top]
"Prebiotic soup is easy to obtain. We must next explain how a prebiotic soup of organic molecules, including amino acids and the organic, constituents of nucleotides evolved into a self-replicating organism. While some suggestive evidence has been obtained, I must admit that attempts to reconstruct the evolutionary process are extremely tentative." (Orgel, Leslie E. [Biochemist and Resident Fellow, Salk Institute for Biological Studies], "Darwinism at the very beginning of life," New Scientist, Vol. 94, 15 April 1982, p.150).[top]
"The first assumption was that non-living things gave rise to living material.
This is still just an assumption. It is conceivable that living material might have suddenly appeared on
this world in some peculiar manner, say from another planet, but this then raises the question,
`Where did life originate on that planet?' We could say that life has always existed, but such an
explanation is not a very satisfactory one. Instead, the explanation that nonliving things could have
given rise to complex systems having the properties of living things is generally more acceptable to
most scientists. There is, however, little evidence in favour of
biogenesis abiogenesis and as yet we have no
indication that it can be performed. There are many schemes by which biogenesis abiogenesis could have
occurred but these are still suggestive schemes and nothing more. They may indicate experiments that
can be performed, but they tell us nothing about what actually happened some 1,000 million years
ago. It is therefore a matter of faith on the part of the biologist that biogenesis abiogenesis did occur and he can
choose whatever method of biogenesis abiogenesis happens to suit him personally; the evidence for what did
happen is not available." (Kerkut, Gerald A. [Emeritus Professor of Neuroscience, University of
Southampton, UK], "Implications of Evolution," in Kerkut G.A., ed. "International Series of
Monographs on Pure and Applied Biology, Division: Zoology," Volume 4, Pergamon Press: New
York NY, 1960, p.150. Typo "biogenesis" changed to "abiogenesis").
"But what if the vast majority of scientists all have faith in the one unverified idea? The modern 'standard' scientific version of the origin of life on earth is one such idea, and we would be wise to check its real merit with great care. Has the cold blade of reason been applied with sufficient vigour in this case? Most scientists want to believe that life could have emerged spontaneously from the primeval waters, because it would confirm their belief in the explicability of Nature - the belief that all could be explained in terms of particles and energy and forces if only we had the time and the necessary intellect. They also want to believe because their arch opponents - religious fundamentalists such as creationists - do not believe in life's spontaneous origin. It is this combative atmosphere which sometimes encourages scientists writing and speaking about the origin of life to become as dogmatic and bigoted as the creationist opponents they so despise."

Not gonna lie bro i don't like it for the falcons. I don't mind a trade up but it would need to be for Mack or Clowney if they dropped to 3 or 4.
We can still get a top 5 OT in Matthews or Robinson at 6 with no trades at all so why would we give up anything to do so? The difference in both Ot's are very slim at this point if any at all.
It just doesn't make logical sense for any GM not just the Falcons to do something like this unless it's for something like a #6 + 5th round pick.

Wanted to get off the beaten path. I entertained having the Rams take Matthews at 5--in which the Falcons would move up for Mack--but something tells me Mack will be the guy at 2 (considering he's arguably in the same class as Clowney, as a prospect). Robinson seems universally considered by pro staffers as a top 4 guy, we're about to find out!

As adults with Down syndrome (DS) live longer lives, scientists are seeking to learn more about how Alzheimer's starts and progresses in this specific population. Their work could deepen the understanding of Alzheimer's in DS and advance efforts to find ways to better treat and prevent the brain disorder in all people.
Alzheimer's disease is extraordinarily common in people with DS, occurring three to five times more often than in the general population. "People with DS are the largest genetically at-risk population for Alzheimer's," said Dr. Laurie Ryan, program director for Alzheimer's disease clinical trials at NIA.
She added, "There is tremendous interest in the research community to better understand the disease process in people with Down syndrome and find better therapies for them. This effort also could help us discover new drugs and other treatments for others with or on the path to Alzheimer's."
Researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), including NIA, are working on many fronts to explore the nexus of Alzheimer's and DS. Basic research aims to better understand the two disorders' common genetic and biological underpinnings. Observational studies are looking at young adults with DS to see if and how they develop Alzheimer's. A few clinical trials [1] are testing potential treatments.
The connection between DS and Alzheimer's, rooted in an extra chromosome 21, has long been known. Over the past 30 years, the average lifespan of people with DS has doubled to 60 years, and Alzheimer's symptoms often begin when they are in their 50s and 60s. In the general population, dementia symptoms typically do not become evident until people are in their 60s or 70s.
People with DS are born with an extra copy of chromosome 21, the result of a random error in cell division. Having three copies of chromosome 21, instead of the normal two, leads to a host of cognitive and physical symptoms, including a mild to moderate intellectual disability and distinctive facial features. As they age, people with DS are at higher risk for health conditions ranging from cataracts and hearing loss to heart defects and hypothyroidism.
The extra copy of chromosome 21 in DS also means a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease. That chromosome contains the APP gene, which produces amyloid precursor protein. In early-onset Alzheimer's, a rare, inherited form of the disorder, mutations in the APP gene cause amyloid precursor protein to be produced. This leads to the formation of harmful beta-amyloid plaques in the brain characteristic of Alzheimer's.
For most of their lives—starting in infancy, some studies show—people with DS, given their extra copy of the APP gene, churn out lots of amyloid precursor protein. By middle age, the accumulated plaques, along with deposits of another protein called tau, wreak biological havoc in the brain, resulting in Alzheimer's in most, but not all, adults with DS. About one-third of people with DS in their 50s have Alzheimer's dementia; in their 60s, at least half do.
Scientists have studied DS since British doctor J. Langdon Down first described the disorder in 1866. Recently, the connection between DS and dementia has garnered increased attention from the Alzheimer's community.
Under the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease [2], the Federal Task Force on Specific Populations was charged with suggesting ways to improve care for specific populations that are "unequally burdened" by Alzheimer's disease, including people with DS, people with younger-onset dementia, and racial and ethnic minorities. The task force's report [3], issued in June, recommends improvements in care and services, such as increasing awareness of advance care planning and relevant clinical trials.
The Plan also directs research attention to this issue. In April, the NIA co-sponsored a conference to help set a research agenda aimed at speeding the development of possible therapies to treat Alzheimer's in DS. Representatives from academia, industry, federal agencies, and private foundations explored topics such as the Alzheimer's disease pathway, animal models, biomarkers, and cognitive assessments. Other co-sponsors included the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) [4] and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke [5], both part of NIH; the Down Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation [6]; and Research Down Syndrome [7].
Current NIA-funded research about Alzheimer's in DS focuses primarily on basic studies or epidemiological or observational studies that help define risk factors or measure the course of the disease. Some studies seek to uncover the specific molecular and genetic processes at work. Others follow study volunteers with DS as they age to look for correlations between brain changes and changes in cognition.
A few clinical trials have been conducted and others are in the works, but "we have to better understand the course of the disease before finding treatments to test," said Dr. Frederick Schmitt of the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging, an NIA grantee at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. Dr. Schmitt and colleague Dr. Elizabeth Head are conducting a 5-year study of adults with DS [8], funded by NICHD, to identify how dementia develops in adults with DS over age 35 by looking at cognitive-test results, certain proteins in blood, and connections between brain regions measured by a type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) called diffusion tensor imaging.
What scientists know so far is that, aside from earlier onset, Alzheimer's in people with DS looks a lot like Alzheimer's in others. Risk increases with age. Cognitive impairment starts with memory loss and other thinking problems, though people with DS initially tend to show behavior changes and problems with walking. The disease process is generally the same, with brain changes believed to precede signs of dementia by 10 to 15 years or so.
Several clinical studies are observing participants with DS as they get older. "Our goal is to develop biomarkers to see if we can tell who's at greatest risk for Alzheimer's in this population," said Dr. Benjamin Handen, a clinical psychologist at the University of Pittsburgh, who leads an NIA-funded study in this area. "Anything we learn can help in the general population."
Handen's research, Natural History of Amyloid Deposition in Adults with Down Syndrome [9], follows volunteers age 30 and older who have DS but no dementia at the start of the study, a group at very high risk for Alzheimer's. Investigators are documenting changes in brain amyloid, brain volume, and performance on neuropsychological tests over time. More than 60 of the 84 participants sought have enrolled in the study at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The results of two types of brain scans—MRI and positron emission tomography with imaging agent Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB PET)—taken every 30 months are compared with those of people with Alzheimer's but no DS and older adult controls without Alzheimer's. "Our findings to date suggest that the pattern of amyloid deposition in people with DS is similar to that of other people with early-onset Alzheimer's," Handen said.
Early results also reveal a dramatic escalation in amyloid load with advancing age. According to Handen, between ages 30 and 35, none of the study participants have amyloid in the brain detectable by a PiB PET scan. But the percentage rises from 33 percent in participants age 36 to 40, to 72 percent in those age 41 to 45, to almost 80 percent in those age 46 to 50.
"The process in DS is not necessarily faster than in the general population, it just starts earlier," Handen noted.
One mystery to be resolved is why a person with DS may develop Alzheimer's pathology but not show symptoms of dementia. This also occurs in the general population, as autopsy studies have shown that some people remained cognitively normal despite having Alzheimer's plaques and tangles in the brain.
"Clearly, there are some protective factors," Dr. Handen said, but it is not yet known what they are. Theories include "cognitive reserve," the ability of education and cognitive training to delay dementia. Another possibility is a biological ability to resist or cope with the overproduction of beta-amyloid plaques.
As Handen and other scientists continue to investigate Alzheimer's in DS, NIH's NICHD plans to launch the Down Syndrome Consortium Registry [10] this fall. People with DS, their family members, and others will be invited to join the registry, called DS ConnectTM. Users will be able to enter highly secure profiles to access information about DS and, with their permission, be contacted about opportunities to participate in research. For more information, see NIH establishes Down syndrome patient registry [11].

TCNJ Magazine recently featured David Yasenchock, an engineering alumnus from the class of '89. He finished a year of active duty in Afghanistan in November 2012, and accepted an appointment as the Massachusetts' State Emergency Preparedness Liaison Officer. He was called in to help coordinate the response efforts during the Boston Marathon bombings.
In the article, David attributed his TCNJ bachelor's degree in engineering with helping prepare him for his current career. He also credits one of his former engineering professors, Dr. Joseph Flynn, with giving him valuable advice. Professor Flynn told David, "When you get commissioned, don't go in the infantry and don't go into the artillery. You're a smart guy. Use your engineering degree." And that is exactly what David did.

The HCA and increases the
production and storage of glycogen – the fuel used quickly that we store in muscles and liver. The HCA also reduces appetite. A healthy weight loss diet means eating sensibly and losing no more than 1 or 2 pounds at the most every week over a period of time.
The results of their study published in the January 2010 issue of Middle East African Journal of Opthamology showed that the opthamolic solution that contained the garcinia significantly reduced eye pressure when used twice a day. pure garcinia extract Garcinia Cambogia No Fillers Or Binders garcinia indica seed butter is derived from the garcinia indica fruit tree and has been a longtime health remedy and confectionery butter in India. It has been used historically as a remedy for diarrhea and dysentery in ayurvedic medicine and it is even used in cooking and baking to add tart flavoring.
They are olive green and shiny on top light green and dull below. The flowers measure 5 cm in diameter and appear single or in pairs at the shoot tips. Fruits are formed after 15 years 2 to 3 times per year.
I'm certain you have a raft of reasons for thinking this as it concerns using it. I won't pretend this garcinia cambogia supplement is bargain priced now. I expect the elements I laid out are an unpopular beginning point for this predisposition when I was born and raised with that agglomeration.
Green Tea- Green tea boosts your body's thermo genesis and causes you to burn fat faster. Lean Turkey- Lean turkey is a high protein low calorie food that your body has to work to digest and that means a boost in your metabolism. Milkskim-Coffee is recommended prior to your workout to burn more fat but drink milk after your workout to increase development of lean muscle by about 63%. Oatmeal-Oatmeal is a high fiber food that your body has to work a little harder to digest resulting in a higher metabolic function. Oranges-The fiber and fructose in oranges has a positive effect on blood sugar levels and insulin which helps your body burn the fat rather than storing it. Pears-Enzymes found in the outer skin of Bartlett pears has been found to help break down carbohydrates in your body which helps facilitate fat loss.
The cyclists ingested either 3.1 mL/kg body weight of an HCA solution or a placebo 45 and 15 minutes before exercise and 30 and 60 minutes after the start of exercise. During rest and after 2 hours of exercise at 50% of their maximal work output the cyclists were measured for their total fat and carbohydrate garcinia cambogia taco bell oxidation rates. Blood samples were collected at rest and during 15-minute intervals of exercise.
I went to the International garcinia cambogia select Show yesterday. Going by what top experts say germane to doing that what I have is an understanding material to this. Who are you to come up with that opinion that provides a detailed explanation dealing with some crisis? By all means you actually could reveal that these things pretty much cover the essence of garcinia cambogia orlando fl your method. From this position there's a whole lot that's wrong with this mess.
It is sui generis how mavens can't relate to a multiform subject like this. That's only going to help that bias in the long run. Strictly "Old habits die hard." That's infinite. That week I took a look at a few options for teachers who ought
to get the shibboleth. How did you come up with something like that business? You could discover all the
existing examples of it if you tried.
Moreover you also need to have a healthy breakfast sufficient sleep and get a little more active in your everyday life to lose the extra pounds. In addition to following these weight loss guidelines you also need to be patient. Do not expect your body to lose extra fat overnight. ?Day off the diet! Britain's Biggest Loser weds long-term love after weight loss gives him confidence to pop the question For a lot of guys having a ripped six Garcinia Cambogia No Fillers Or Binders pack is the desire of many yet most of them think it is about spending a lot of time at the gym doing endless exercises.
Deluxe elliptical fitness machines and up advance elliptical fitness machines also will let you do both upper and lower workout. Elliptical exercise equipment are likewise called combination stair climbers and ski machines. The key is to set a goal and a deadline for such before delving into any physical or diet regimen. If your goal is to lose some serious poundage proper planning must be done to attain long-lasting effect. Be realistic as much as possible in your goals and how you act on them. If you plan to lose 50 pounds try doing it gradually like 5lbs a week and slowly increment it week after week. This will make your program more attainable.
For some a half marathon might be the perfect stepping stone to completing a full marathon. As you prepare to go the distance make sure you incorporate some endurance runs and make sure you taper off before race day. Find a more advanced training plan to reach your goal. They were stricken with grief.
Those of you who are planning to follow a grapefruit juice diet must however consult a medical expert first. Instances of adverse drug interactions have been reported and it's important that people find out all about the drug interactions or any other guidelines regarding this juice diet. I feel it's advertising hype. If there was any single food that speeded up your metabolism to any significant degree then we'd all be eating vast quantities of it.
Those were inventive routines for those days. I reckon you'll locate that the contraption is up to the occasion. That program has been part of our lives since the dawn of man. For the most part I'm on easy street. It is a priceless treasure.
I recently read that many people are Vitamin D deficient due to not being outdoors and if they are wearing sunscreen. Vitamin D3 was recommended as the form most easily used by the body. Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to weight gain too.
More and more people are looking for nontraditional approaches to personal health and healing. These diverse remedies are sometimes used in the place of typical medical approaches. Several alternative remedies are safe relatively affordable and easily accessible. They also very rarely have the harmful side effects. The main constituent of garcinia hydroxycitric acid comprises up to 30 percent of the weight of the fruit. Xanthones and xanthone derivatives are also present as are benzophenones and flavonoids.

This post brought back some ancient memories … and I'm always amazed how far we've got in the last 30 years. For me, it all started with an IBM 360, having 48K (forty eight kilobytes) of core memory in which it ran an operating system and three user partitions. Fortran IV was the only programming language and card reader the only input device.
Moving to a VAX 11/780 was a major improvement; it was a multitasking environment with real terminals. VAX was an interesting beast: the first step in the boot process was to start an embedded PDP-11 processor that read an 8" floppy disc and uploaded the microcode to the main CPU. The only drawback was that 30 users had to share 2M (two megabytes) of main memory and so I couldn't crash the machine whenever I wanted.
A few years later, I managed to get access to a really cute research PDP-11 running RSX-11M. Finally I could start writing device drivers and kernel code without risking the wrath of dozens of users years older than myself. And then the personal computers appeared and I probably made one the best choices I could – the BBC Micro from Acorn. It was never popular, but it had an amazingly well-designed operating system that you could extend in any way you wish (and even symbolic assembly language built into its BBC BASIC).

Eczema health centre
This article is from the WebMD News Archive
Evening primrose oil 'no benefit for eczema'
30th April 2013 - High quality research into the use of oral evening primrose oil and borage oil (starflower oil) shows little, if any, benefit for people with eczema.
The authors, who published their review of 27 studies on the subject in The Cochrane Library, conclude that further research on the two complementary therapies would be difficult to justify.
Atopic eczema
Atopic eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is the most common form of eczema. It is a chronic inflammatory skin condition which usually develops in early childhood. It affects about 10 to 20% of school age children, who may suffer with tight, red, painful skin, sleepless nights and low self-esteem due to appearance, itching and scratching.
For around 60% of people the disorder will improve or clear up by adulthood but there is no cure. Constant itch makes life uncomfortable for those with this condition, no matter what age they are, so it can have a significant effect on a person's quality of life.
Creams, ointments, bath additives, topical steroids and antihistamines are some of the treatments prescribed to ease the condition.
Evening primrose and borage oil
Many people with eczema are reluctant to use the most commonly recommended treatments, i.e. topical corticosteroids, because of fears of side-effects, such as allergies or skin thinning or long-term health effects, such as growth retardation and adrenal gland suppression. Instead they turn to complementary therapies like evening primrose oil (EPO) and borage oil which contain high quantities of gamma linoleic acid (GLA), which was once thought to play a role in reducing skin inflammation in eczema.
The researchers analysed the benefits and side effects associated with evening primrose oil and borage oil in 27 studies involving a total of 1,596 people (adults and children) in 27 countries.
19 studies assessed evening primrose oil, and eight studies assessed borage oil.
Participants in the studies took evening primrose oil or borage oil, or a placebo, ( dummy treatment) for between three to 24 weeks.
Overall, the researchers found that taking evening primrose or borage oil offered no clear improvement of eczema symptoms over placebos. Commonly used placebos included olive oil and liquid paraffin.
There was also no improvement in quality of life with the complementary therapies, although only two studies considered this measure.
Lead researcher, Dr Joel Bamford of the University of Minnesota Medical School, US says in a news release: "There is no evidence that taking either evening primrose or borage oil is of benefit to eczema sufferers. Given the strength of the evidence in our review, we think further studies on the use of these complementary therapies to treat eczema would be hard to justify."
Long term use
The short-term studies included in the review did not examine possible adverse effects of long-term use of evening primrose or borage oil. A case report warned that if EPO is taken for a prolonged period of time (more than one year), there is a potential risk of inflammation, thrombosis and immunosuppression; another study found that EPO may increase bleeding for people on warfarin (a blood thinner) medication.
"Consumers need to be warned that oral evening primrose oil is listed as a known cause of increased bleeding for those taking Coumadin or warfarin, a very common medication," says Dr Bamford.

For me, the ending has to be one of the best video game endings I've ever witnessed, very stunning. Stephen Merchant played an excellent Wheatley as well, I do say.

I think there's a user who posts here with the name Cave Johnson, Yea I've played the hell out of the portal series, the multiplayer in portal 2 is great fun, If you have it on steam i'd recommend trying out some of the user created content.
Yeah, I'm a month late, sorry.
Anyway, Portal and Portal 2 are definitely two of the best games ever made. The concept is simply brilliant (and unique too!), the humour is excellent and the gameplay is great. If Valve ever learn how to count to 3, I'd really like to see a third game. I should also probably change my Avatar back to Cave, not sure why it ended up as CATS.

YOUNG gardeners have been busy putting the final touches to their outdoor living structures.
Two willow growing frames are now in place for the children of The Gates Primary School in Westhoughton.
And the planting of the willow seeds marks the completion of the school's redevelopments of its outdoor area thanks to a Lottery grant of just under £10,000.
Business manager Carol Band said: "The outdoor space is now complete.
"We have allotments, chickens and now will have a tunnel and dome which will carry on growing.
"After half-term the children will decide what they want to grow, and they are looking after the chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs."

DOCTORS won't be the only ones doing rounds when the new Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre opens next Friday.
Around 20 iPads will also be circulating among patients in the plush ''information lounge'' and outside courtyard which has replaced the traditional waiting room.
Though it might not seem so at first glance, these modern-day tablets have a role to play in patient care. With the help of hospital staff, cancer patients will be guided to reputable websites in their research. It's based on the idea that knowledge can not only be empowering but can reduce anxiety and stress for patients, their families and carers. The tablets could even save a life.
The Austin's medical director of cancer services Jonathan Cebon said lives are still lost because patients reject conventional treatments such as chemotherapy due to a fear of the side effects. ''Knowledge is what empowers patients to understand and to make informed decisions, otherwise people are operating in the darkness,'' he said. ''That doctor-patient relationship has to be based on trust and knowledge which makes it possible to get the best possible outcome.''
The centre's manager of wellness supportive care in cancer services, Christine Scott, said there was also evidence that patients complied better with their treatment and were more likely to keep appointments if they were well informed.
''Often patients' needs can be met just by providing some good supportive care and some information which helps fill the gaps in their knowledge; what their treatment will entail and what the consequences of that might be,'' Ms Scott said.
But while knowledge can empower patients, it also benefits doctors. One of the advantages of bringing complementary therapies such as art and music therapy, meditation, massage and acupuncture in-house at the Austin Hospital is that it enables doctors to know what complementary therapies a patient is involved with, in case it impacts on their clinical care.
While not all doctors are united in their support of complementary therapies, medical oncology research fellow at the Austin and Ludwig, Miles Andrews, said it was an aspect of patient care which needed to be taken into account.
According to 2004 figures, 52 per cent of Australians use complementary medicine and 26 per cent had consulted a complementary therapist, making it a $1.8 billion industry.
''From a pragmatic point of view it would be stupid to ignore it. The reality is that the complementary therapy area is a massive industry,'' Dr Andrews said. ''In my clinical work, I always tell patients that I don't mind what you do but I do want you to tell me.''
The Saturday Age toured the eight-storey $189 million facility ahead of its opening. With a natural colour scheme inspired by the Heidelberg school artists, the centre has been designed to bring clinicians, researchers and complementary therapists under one roof.
''The patient will turn up to be cared for at the ONJ Centre and within that structure quite seamlessly they would access our research activities, our clinical activities or our wellness services,'' Professor Cebon said.
The benefits will also extend to staff. In Dr Andrews' words, the centre has been designed to ''capitalise on serendipity''.
He said the set-up at the new centre would foster a more practical collaboration not only between clinicians and scientists but between specialists who might otherwise be pigeon-holed. ''People can mingle in communal break-out areas where they might run into others or join a discussion that is relevant to their work. And that is harder to do when you're in different buildings.''
The centre will treat outpatients from Friday before becoming fully operational by the middle of next year, including three wards with 92 beds.
