DESCRIPTION:
Jason Yingling said Funny and interesting look at the lives of several great Americans. Nick Offerman (TVs Ron Swanson) is a true American. He can do anything he wants with a tree. Whether it's craft a boat or write a hefty tome to adorn on the pages it provided. He could probably make the pages too. In his second offering Nick Offerman provides insight into those American's that one can model themselves after in order to become as great a person as he. I very much enjoyed reading his takes on the exploits of our Revolutionary fathers in the first portion of the book. The book also turned me onto s. This was a fun non-fiction book about great Americans John D. Nick Offerman makes reading short biographies fun. A great relaxing book to read. A nice gift for any fan of Nick or Parks and Rec.. Susana said Great gift!. I bought this for my husband and he loves it! This is someone who is very choosy about what he reads. He keeps telling me different and interesting things from the book. I bought his other book last night. If you ever get a chance Google this author and the conan show, he does the best comedy bits, you will laugh.
Both Nick and his character, Ron Swanson, are known for their humor and patriotism in equal measure. After the great success of his autobiography Paddle Your Own Canoe, Offerman now focuses on the lives of those who inspired him. He'll combine both serious history with light-hearted humor - comparing, say, George Washington's wooden teeth to his own experience as a woodworker. From George Washington to Willie Nelson, he describes 21 heroic figures and why they inspire in him such great meaning. The subject matter will also allow Offerman to expound upon his favorite topics, which listeners love to hear - areas such as religion, politics, woodworking and handcrafting, agriculture, creativity, philosophy, fashion, and, of course, meat.. To millions of people, Nick Offerman is America. The star of Parks and Recreation and author of the New York Times best seller Paddle Your Own Canoe returns with a second book that humorously highlights 21 figures from our nation's history, from her inception to present day - Nick's personal pantheon of "great Americans"
