About the Author:

Terry G. Jordan-Bychkov, the Walter Prescott Webb Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Texas at Austin, is the author or coauthor of more than a dozen books, among them American Log Buildings and The American Backwoods Frontier

Review:

Terry G. Jordan-Bychkov has the unique capacity to pull together diverse threads that many of us have read before but failed to fit into an all-encompassing regional mosaic. Jordan-Bychkov has extracted the essence of a corpus of wonderful work in American cultural geography for our own edification and enjoyment. The Upland South is a concise, well-written, and good-looking book that geographers and others will likely place on their bedside tables.

(Ary J. Lamme IIIUniversity of Florida, author of America's Historic Landscapes )

This book identifies and interprets the Upland South in ways that only Terry Jordan-Bychkov can do. This is a solid, well-crafted, well-organized, and balanced work that will appeal to a wide audience of scholars and general readers.
