Manderley Press is delighted to announce the publication of a
brand-new edition of Helene Hanff's Letter from New York - another
literary jewel from the author of 84, Charing Cross Road. To
showcase this wonderful book, we commissioned the New York Times
bestselling author Jean Hanff Korelitz (The Plot) to pen a new
introduction - she is a cousin of Helene Hanff's, and was inspired
to become a writer after meeting her as a teenager. The front cover
was specially designed by New Yorker illustrator Bruce Eric Kaplan,
also a fan of the author and a resident of New York City too. Over
several years, Helene Hanff read aloud these stories of her life in
New York for BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour. This book is a collection
of selected scripts from this series, composed with a British
audience in mind, in which the author offers us a glimpse into her
own everyday tales of the city. Written in her trademark whimsical
and upbeat style, Helene Hanff transports us right to the heart of
Manhattan in the 1980s, describing her favourite places, people and
pets with gentle humour, and introducing the reader to the ups and
downs of life in a high-rise apartment building in New York City
("the last small town in America"). We are introduced to Bentley,
the Old English Sheepdog belonging to a neighbour who captured the
author's heart; we take a stroll through the beautiful
Shakespeare's Garden in Central Park; and we join the author to
enjoy annual city parades down Fifth Avenue - especially the St
Patrick's Day parade, when the whole of New York turned green. And
we meet Helene's friends: Arlene, whose glamorous social life - and
wardrobe - puts Hanff's tiny apartment and simple writer's life
into perspective, and Nina, whose garden on the sixteenth-floor
overflows with flowers and fruit trees. Finally, we accompany the
author as she travels to London to celebrate the opening night of
the dramatisation of her best-selling book 84, Charing Cross Road.
What started out as a six-month trial in 1978 eventually turned
into a six-year project, during which time Helene Hanff captivated
radio audiences with her monthly broadcasts - each one a love
letter to her beloved NYC. Long before the cast of Friends - and
Sarah Jessica Parker's iconic evocation of life in the city -
recreated a New York existence for us to experience vicariously,
these 5-minute vignettes were the perfect way for native New
Yorkers and international readers alike, to revel in the quotidian
as well as the glamour of city life, and to discover the unexpected
hidden gems - and treasured traditions - of New York City. Letter
from New York is still a delight to read, 40 years after it was
first written - a timeless and beguiling tale of everyday life in
this great city, by one of the best-loved authors of the
20th-century.
Two worlds bound by a pomegranate gate Toba Peres can speak but she
can’t shout; she can walk but she can’t run; and she can write
in five languages… with both hands at the same time. Naftaly
Cresques dreams every night of an orange-eyed stranger; when awake,
he sees things that aren’t real; and he carries a book he can
never lose and never read. When the Queen of Sefarad orders all the
nation’s Jews to leave or convert, Toba and Naftaly are forced to
flee, but an unlucky encounter leaves them both separated from
their caravan. Lost in the wilderness, Toba follows an orange-eyed
stranger through a mysterious gate in a pomegranate grove, leaving
Naftaly behind. With a single step, Toba enters an ancient world
that mirrors her own. There, she finds that her fate—and
Naftaly’s—are bound to an ancient conflict threatening to
destroy both realms.
Cynthia Kaplan, acclaimed author of "Why I'm Like This," once
again casts her gimlet eye upon the current state of her affairs.
Also of your affairs, and some other people's affairs as well.
Journey with her as she humiliates herself in a variety of locales
and fearlessly takes on all the important issues of the
day--including her family, intelligent design, Narnia, and New
England's deer population.
"Leave the Building Quickly" is a hilarious, moving, bitingly
honest, take-no-prisoners incursion into the kind of real-life
daily circumstances that inspire us to crouch in the linen closet
at three in the morning. But that's okay because Kaplan's there,
too. And she's brought snacks.
Truly pocket-sized and light, Kaplan's NCLEX Medication Review
provides a concise, portable review of 300+ medications frequently
prescribed in clinical practice. Reorganized to combine related
therapies, this slim volume reviews only the medications and key
details that are most likely to be tested—ideal for the home
stretch of exam prep, when you can’t afford to be overwhelmed.
Streamlined Review Flashcard-style pages with more than 300
frequently prescribed medications, grouped by medication category
& subcategory Expertly revised and up-to-date content, with
nursing considerations, adverse effects, and purpose for each
medication Organized to combine related therapies and facilitate
learning of meds with similar profiles Features: important
alternate uses of medications, black box warnings Appendix of
medical abbreviations for quick reference Alphabetical index of
medications by generic name for quick page reference Convenient

Whitman's genius, passions, poetry, and androgynous sensibility entwined to create an exuberant life amid the turbulent American mid-nineteenth century. In vivid detail, Kaplan examines the mysterious selves of the enigmatic man who celebrated the freedom and dignity of the individual and sang the praises of democracy and the brotherhood of man.
Frankie Marble is shy. She is afraid of heights. She is too scared
to enter the school talent show. But all that changes when she
meets Bandit, the dog-that-is-definitely-not-a-dragon! Read all
about their adventures in this graphic novel!
Cynthia Kaplan takes us on a hilarious and sometimes
heartbreaking journey through her unique, uncensored world--her
bungled romantic encounters and unsung theatrical experiences; her
gadget-obsessed father, her pill-popping therapist, and her
eccentric grandmothers; her fearless husband, whom she engages in
an ongoing battle over which of them is the most popular person in
their apartment; and, of course, her vengeful, power-hungry
one-year-old son.
Kaplan's voice is a lot like the one in our heads--the one that
most of us are only willing to listen to late at night . . . maybe
while locked in a closet. What a relief it is that someone finally
admits that she is afraid of nearly everything; that she is jealous
even of people whose lives are on the verge of collapse; and that
she has, at times, tried to pass for a gentile.

It’s a proven fact; we are healthier and happier when we are
laughing. Not only is laughter good for our body, mind, and spirit,
but it can also help us face the uncomfortable challenge of dealing
with our personal difficulties. Almost Happy introduces the reader
to a practical and accessible way to use humor to effect change.
Reverse psychology can provoke us to discover, own, and enact
authentic solutions to many of our issues. The 114 original buttons
were designed as stirring visual communications to enhance the
provocative process—which is based on three core ideas:1. People
don’t like being told what to do.2. Reverse Psychology, a
technique known to most parents, also works brilliantly on
adults.3. Irony, satire and parody—when used warmly and
responsibly—can provoke the emergence of conscience and common
sense.Are you ready to read a book that will gently tease you about
your issues? The buttons and provocative suggestions are offered
with a twinkle in the eye and affection in the heart.
Modern society is currently facing a cascade of environmental
crises. Moving forward, it will be the job of current and future
generations to develop sound and creative approaches to addressing
them. This book attempts to provide insight into the ways in which
society can confront modern agricultural, environmental, and
resource challenges. In particular, it provides an economic lens
with which to examine and confront these issues. The first part of
the book introduces a general economic framework that can be used
to analyze these issues. Subsequent chapters rely on this framework
to introduce and explain specific concepts in agricultural,
environmental, and resource economics, including (but not limited
to) non-renewable and renewable resource management, pesticide use,
and climate change. The book develops quantitative tools that the
readership can use to analyze and better understand the
complexities of these challenges. Each chapter includes specific
applications, and an accompanying Appendix includes a longer list
of practice problems that can be brought into courses as exercises.
