The ice cream cones. The memes. Few politicians are as iconic, or as beloved, as Joe Biden. Now, in The Book of Joe, Biden fans will finally have the definitive look at America's favorite vice president--and what he can teach us. Yet beneath the memorable Biden-isms, the book will reveal an inspirational story of a man who keeps "getting back up." We need this right now. Much as Biden has come back from both professional missteps and personal heartbreaks, sometimes we all have to get back up and fight. Given Biden's reputation as a decent, plainspoken, patriotic statesman of integrity, this entertaining and practical book will be both a celebration of great political figure and an essential guide to creating the America he believes in so dearly. 600 10 $a Biden, Joseph R. 610 10 $a United States. $b Senate $b Senate $v Biography. 650 0 $a Legislators $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Vice-Presidents $z United States $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1945-1989. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1989- 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Political. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 21st Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HUMOR / Politics. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 9 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728011452.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20220201014333.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806021153.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204090531.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110072421.0 952 $l XWPC787 $d 20190828011111.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006111932.0 952 $l SPPE104 $d 20180731012750.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180104062231.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BCC37A24E55311E7AFB0C42A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b FQ5Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
