Jordan received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin in 1965 and was part of the strong tradition in historical geography there. Over the past 20 years, he has produced a set of books that combine the best traditions in cultural geography. In these works he has included both cultural landscape features, such as building types, and more broadly relevant historical topics, such as ethnicity. Jordan, who has served as president of the Association of American Geographers, also has brought his expertise to general texts in cultural geography. Americas woodland pioneers transformed forest into farmland more rapidly than any group in world history.. Here, Terry Jordan and Marri Kaups offer a detailed analysis of this remarkable culture and present an in-depth study of its colonial origins. - Amazon
