Imagine my disgust when I saw Dr. Ryan Jordan’s book Lightweight Backpacking & Camping: A Field Guide to Wilderness Hiking Equipment, Technique, and Style at of all places the Wal-Mart for the outdoors REI.

Getting back to my point. How dare you, Dr. Jordan.

You Dr. Jordan have done the same thing in this case.

(1) You are not doing this by selling out Dr. Jordan.



I had the librarian at a local University run a Doctoral Dissertation search for Ryan Jordan.

No doctoral dissertation was found.

So, I wonder about the title of Dr. for Ryan Jordan. It is possible that he has an honorary degree from somewhere. Or, (shudder) one of the "diploma mill" unaccredited outfits which give credits for life experience.

Or, somehow, people began throwing that title at him, and it "sticks".

Anybody have any knowledge of the academic title?
