PARKER HITS A GRAND SLAM "Double Play," Parker's new novel featuring baseball legend Jackie Robinson and his bodyguard, Burke, is about to hit store shelves. After the release of Oto Penzler'santhology of baseball mysteries entitled Murderer's Row , which included a piece called "Harlem Nocturn" by Parker, we knew the fact behind the rumor. The upcoming release of "Double Play" slated for May 24th, 2004. " It is 1947, the year Jackie Robinson breaks major-league baseball's color barrier by playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers-and changes the world. This is the story of that season, as told through the eyes of a difficult, brooding, and wounded man named Joseph Burke. Burke, a veteran of World War II and a survivor of Guadalcanal, is hired by Brooklyn Dodgers manager Branch Rickey to guard Robinson. While Burke shadows Robinson, a man of tremendous strength and character suddenly thrust into the media spotlight, the bodyguard must also face some hard truths of his own, in a world where the wrong associations can prove fatal."

    `ROBERT B. PARKER'S
    BOOKS REVEALED This Site visited Times Since Dec. 1, 2000
    FOREWORD: The purpose of this site is to help you find your way among the over forty excellent books Bob Parker has published by trying to give you an idea of what the individual books are about so that you might find some enjoyable reading. I have slipped a bit of my personal opinions in some of the synopsese and the descriptions of characters, and if you find that you disagree with some of them, so be it. Although Parker writes primarily about detectives and crimes, I incline to favor those that have a little romance thrown in and I gather that I am with the majority of readers.
    Titles are hard to remember, so the short synopses are intended to help you decide whether you have read a particular title or not.
    This site was started with just the Spenser novels, but after putting the last version of my Spenser site on line, which covered the 26 novels that had been published then, I decided to expand my site to include all the books Parker had published. Many people consider Bob Parker the best present day writer of detective/crime fiction. Personally, I go farther, I think he's among the best present day writers, period. I don't know of any writer who makes their characters more real, more alive, and more interesting.. He has specialized in novels of the detective/crime genre because that field interests him and has a good market. When he got his Ph.D. degree in English, it was on detective stories, and his doctoral dissertation has been published and is described in section 3, Other Parker Books.

STONE COLD THE SUNNY RANDALL NOVELS FAMILY HONOR PERISH TWICE SHRINK RAP POTSHOT Robert B. Parker G. P. Putnam's Sons Thriller ISBN: 0399147101 Read an Excerpt All of the above applies to POTSHOT, Parker's 30th or so Spenser novel. POTSHOT removes Spenser from his familiar Boston environs to Potshot, Arizona, a small resort town where a businessman has been murdered. Spenser has been retained by Mary Lou Buckman, the widow of the deceased. All suspicion for the murder is cast upon a gang of lowlifes living near Potshot who have been extorting money from the townspeople. The gang, led by a mysterious figure known only as The Preacher, seems to hold the police department helpless and the town in terror. While Spenser is known as well for his self-confidence as for his lighthearted repartee, he also knows when to seek assistance. This is one of those times; Spenser not only calls upon the redoubtable Hawk, but also upon a group of past associates who will have longtime readers scrambling to past novels to refresh their collective recollection. As Spenser and company begin turning over rocks and tumbleweeds, they soon discover that all is not as it seems, and what appears to be a local problem has roots that stretch as far as southern California.

26. Backpacking In The Sierra Nevada, In And Around Reno, Nevada
Trail descriptions and pictures of hikes in the wilderness areas of Lake Tahoe.
http://robertparker.org/hobbies/backpacking.htm
Backpacking in the Northern Sierra's I love to backpack the mountains. I love to sleep outside and listen to all the sounds nature provides. It is absolutely awesome. In Mid July of the Summer of 2003, I spent three days in the Desolation Wilderness, as my summer solitude for the year. It was absolutley awesome! I parked at the trailhead at Lily Lake, after a half hour drive along Fallen Leaf Lake. The drive around Fallen Leaf lake is slow going because of the heavy traffic and a single lane for much of the trip.The Sierras this year were mostly clear of snow, except for the passes. They were slippery. I spent the first night at Grass Lake and at Suzie Lake the second night. The Desolation Wilderness area is just South West of Lake Tahoe. I spent some time at Lake Aloha, almost slept here but instead pressed on to home that night. Here is a picture of Lake Aloha , in the Desolation Wilderness, July 2003. I was looking South West, close to the shoreline, just west of the trail intersection. If you look at the red cross on the TopoZone link you can get an idea of where the picture was taken. I was on the PCT about here: on the PCT, Lake Aloha, Desolation Wilderness, California

32. Maintained Software
Plotxy allows the user, either interactively at the terminal, or though scripts, to create simple graphs in the xy plane. It gives the user complete of control of many aspects of the graph (eg, picture size, text font, line weight, math and Greek symbols, color palette specification). Color produces contour diagrams, with Contour producing a B/W equivalent. Magmap maps magnetic field components using spherical harmonic representations. PSD estimates the Power Spectral Density of a time series. Cross calculates frequency domain functions from a pair of input time series.

Maintained Software - Robert L. Parker
Over the years my colleagues and I have written a number of useful programs that are in wide use in research institutions. They are all written in Fortran, come with extensive documentation. Several packages are briefly described below, with links to online documentation. On this page you will find information about plotxy (in the next section), and also color magmap psd cross , and contour
Plotxy
The most venerable program is plotxy, originally written by Loren Shure and myself in the 1980s. This package allows the user, either interactively at the terminal, or though scripts, to create simple graphs in the x-y plane. These days there are dozens of such programs, but plotxy gives the user complete of control of many aspects of the graph (eg, picture size, text font, line weight, math and Greek symbols, color palette specification) often absent from the other systems. For example, matlab effortlessly generates simple graphics during the development stages of a project, but production of publication-quality figures is much more troublesome. Control of figure and text size, arrangement on the page, annotation is handled in matlab by a confusing combination of pull-down menus, and function calls, some requiring handle graphics, others not, and documentation is diffuse. In comparison, plotxy offers full control within a uniform framework, well documented in one place. The example above is a figure drawn with plotxy ( mapped to jpeg and somewhat degraded) from a recent paper of mine shows some features that would require considerable effort to reproduce in matlab. Note the different line weights, dash lengths and symbol sizes, the way in which the open circles cover the curved lines, and the graceful numerical axis annotation. The plotxy
