Brendan Vaughan is an articles editor at Esquire magazine and the winner of a National Magazine Award for New Media.
A humorous volume of more than forty true stories recounts the resourceful innovations of people who used science and ingenuity to resolve tricky situations, from a person who used breakfast cereal to provide traction in an icy parking lot to an individual who saved a relationship by using a strategic turn of phrase.
A clever collection of true stories celebrating real-life MacGyverisms .
For anyone who s ever wished they could channel 1980s action-adventure icon Angus MacGyver a secret agent known for relying on his brains, scientific prowess, duct tape, and a Swiss Army knife to save the day this unique collection commemorates the use of improvised genius in everyday life. The MacGyverisms recounted range from the concrete (using Chex Mix to provide traction in an icy parking lot) to the intangible (saving a relationship with the perfect turn of phrase). Divided by theme, the book features over forty true accounts in all some by well-known writers, including Chuck Klosterman and A. J. Jacobs, most by ordinary people.
Edgy, entertaining, and smirk-to-yourself funny, these masterfully told stories reveal that, with a little luck and a lot of ingenuity, you can MacGyver yourself out of virtually any predicament.
