In 1969 curator, critic and former Jewish Museum director Alan Solomon interviewed Craig Kauffman, Larry Bell, James Turrell and Robert Irwin in conjunction with an exhibition he was organizing. They are the earliest in-depth interviews with each artist. Because of his untimely death they have remained in his archives and are published here for the first time. The interviews provide a rare glimpse into the early careers of these seminal artists, documenting their critical, aesthetic and intellectual concerns at a pivotal moment, allowing readers new insight into an important era of American postwar art. Solomon rose to prominence in the 1960s as a curator at the Jewish Museum in New York, where he organized a series of first solo exhibitions for the likes of Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. He also curated several major international surveys, including the 1964 Venice Biennale, where Rauschenberg won the Golden Lion. In 1968 Solomon left New York to take up a position at the fledgling University of California campus in Irvine, which was home to a dynamic group of young faculty and students. There he became acquainted with Kauffman, Bell, Turrell and Irwin, who have since been recognized as canonical participants in California Light and Space art of the 1960s. With this volume his engagement with these artists, and their roles in this important art historical episode, has finally been brought to light.

PC viruses are not necessarily a major disaster despite what is sometimes written about them. But a virus infection is at the very least a nuisance, and potentially can lead to loss of data. Quite often it is the user's panic reaction to discovering a virus infection that does more than the virus itself. This book demystifies PC viruses, providing clear, accurate information about this relatively new PC problem. It enables managers and PC users to formulate an appropriate response; adequate for prevention and cure, but not `over the top'. Over 100 PC viruses and variants are documented in detail. You are told how to recognise each one, what it does, how it copies itself, and how to get rid of it. Other useful and relevant technical information is also provided. Strategies for dealing with potential and actual virus outbreaks are described for business, academic and other environments, with the emphasis on sensible but not unreasonable precautions. All users of IBM PC or compatible computers - from single machines to major LAN's - will find this book invaluable. All that is required is a working knowledge of DOS. Dr. Alan Solomon has been conducting primary research into PC viruses since they first appeared, and has developed the best-selling virus protection software Dr. Solomon's Anti-Virus Toolkit.

Alan Solomon's Piggy the Frog is a fast-moving, fantastical epic poem for children and adults alike. Stylistically it is a blend of Edward Lear's 'nonsense verse,' Lewis Caroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and Hermann Hesse's "Journey to the East." It is a magical adventure story about four mythical creatures who go on a whimsical journey to the coast and encounter an interesting array of characters and situations along the way.Piggy the Frog is an "amphibious dog" whose character is a combination of Winnie the Pooh and Snoopy, plus something else that is not quite definable. Sticky the Twig is a porcupine who wears a wig that changes color with the seasons. Pete the Gnome is a little pixie who wears pointy shoes, and Pillow the Willow - the true hero in the story - is a tree that uprooted to travel.The happy quartet set off on a journey that takes them to a village reminiscent of the South Sea Islands where they meet the preposterously boisterous Chief Joe. They then continue and encounter a cruel "wheel-barrow man" before finding themselves in a grim, totalitarian city where they are arrested and forced to stand trial. Along the way they have tea with a delightfully charminglittle girl, pass through an enchanted forest where Piggy, Sticky and Pete learn a valuable lesson about the power of their thoughts, before eventually arriving at their destination. At "surface-level" the poem is a rhyming children's story full of frolicking fun and humor.At a much deeper level, it is a soul's journey from childhood innocence to ultimate spiritual enlightenment.
