Both Nick and his character, Ron Swanson, are known for their humor and patriotism in equal measure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter the great success of his autobiography, \u003ci\u003ePaddle Your Own Canoe\u003c\/i\u003e, Offerman now focuses on the lives of those who inspired him. From George Washington to Willie Nelson, he describes twenty-one heroic figures and why they inspire in him such great meaning. He combines both serious history with light-hearted humor--comparing, say, Benjamin Franklin's abstinence from daytime drinking to his own sage refusal to join his construction crew in getting plastered on the way to work. The subject matter also allows Offerman to expound upon his favorite topics, which readers love to hear--areas such as religion, politics, woodworking and handcrafting, agriculture, creativity, philosophy, fashion, and, of course, meat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick Offerman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0525954678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525954675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dutton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.31w x 1.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2015","brand":"Nick Offerman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44042811277567,"sku":"9780525954675","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f43a0c8c-d360-4bad-b17e-310b989674a8.jpg?v=1684963678","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gumption-nick-offerman-9780525954675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
