杰克•威泽弗德（Jack Weatherford），知名蒙元史专家，人类学教授，著有《成吉思汗与今日世界之形成》《蒙古女王秘史》《野蛮与文明》等。 为了最大限度地真实复原成吉思汗和蒙古帝国的历史，威泽弗德教授曾用整整18年时间游历昔日蒙古帝国的疆土。他沿着古代突厥部落的迁移路线，从蒙古国西行至地中海的波斯尼亚，后又按照马可·波罗的海上航线，从中国东南沿海出发，穿越马六甲海峡，取道印度和波斯湾沿岸的阿拉伯国家，最后抵达威尼斯。 2013年退休后，他正式迁居蒙古，以便更加深入地研究文献资料。他的研究成果深深影响并改变了人们对成吉思汗以及蒙古帝国历史的看法。为了表彰其杰出贡献，2007年，蒙古总统将代表蒙古国最高荣誉的“北极星勋章”授予威泽弗德教授。
