What is "robinson"

Robinson may refer to:

Robinson is a small lunar impact crater that lies to the southwest of the large walled plain J. Herschel. It is located in the continental terrain to the north of the Mare Frigoris, in the northwestern part of the Moon's near side. To the southwest is another walled plain, South.

This crater has only been slightly worn through impact erosion, and it retains a sharp outer rim and well-defined features. The loose material along the inner walls has slumped and accumulated at the bottom about the interior floor, particularly along the western half. The rim is roughly circular in shape, but has minor irregularities in the form of slight outward bulges in the perimeter.

Paths lead to the summit from the village of Buttermere, from the nearby summit Dale Head and from various locations in the valleys to the north.

Robinson is a horse ridden by the American show jumper Richard Spooner.

Robinson was bought as an 8-year-old from Ludger and Marcus Beerbaum in 1996. Since then, he has won over $1 million in prize money and over 40 Grands Prix, including the Queens Cup, the Chrysler Classic Derby, and the Las Vegas Grand Prix at the 2003 World Cup Finals.

In addition, Robinson has been made PCHA horse of the year three times, United States Grand Prix League horse of the year, and earned a fourth-place finish in the strenuous Riders Tour in Europe.

Robinson is famous for hanging his tongue out of his mouth during competition, usually to the right, a quirk which many find endearing.

Robinson is the pen name of a German illustrator, Werner Kruse, who in 1967 produced a book of ink drawings that show New York City's skyline and neighborhoods in intense detail. He described it as "an X-ray" style that showed the city's buildings from outside and inside.

The book, originally called "New York," was reissued in 2009 as "New York, Line by Line: From Broadway to the Battery." A review in New York magazine described the drawings as "scrupulously accurate, down to the tiny tripartite cornices on the brownstones."

Born in Berlin in 1910 and taking his name from the children's story "Robinson Crusoe," Robinson also made similar books about Paris, Berlin and Tokyo. He died in 1994.

Robinson (dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played in first-class cricket during the 1740s, chiefly associated with London Cricket Club. He is recorded in 1749 only, playing in two single wicket matches at the Artillery Ground in August followed by an appearance for Tom Faulkner's XI against Long Robin's XI, also at the Artillery Ground, on Monday, 28 August 1749.

As Robinson had established his reputation by 1749, he must have been active for some years previously. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports and there are no further references to Robinson after 1749.
