“At about the time men started to get in touch with their feminine sides, hammer sales around the world began to drop off.” So begins this witty yet practical guide for men looking to reclaim their traditional role. Author Sam Martin covers every aspect of the transition imaginable. From DIY to BBQ, this simple guide offers no-nonsense advice on becoming an expert in all things macho: carpentry, outdoor survival, even impressing the women in their lives. Individual chapters cover every area that could conceivably be man’s territory: The Great Outdoors, Men and Machines, Man About the House, The Perfect Host, Men at Work, Sports and Sportsmanship, A Man’s Best Friend, How to Be a Hero, and more. In her famous hit “Stand By Your Man,” Tammy Wynette sang, “It’s hard to be a woman.” How to Mow the Lawn makes it easy, and fun, to “be a man.”
