From the Pyramids at Giza to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the seven wonders of the ancient world have posed one of the greatest riddles over the centuries. Why were these particular examples chosen and when? What were the technical and cultural factors involved? Were they mainly religious choices and what do they tell us about the Roman world. Paul Jordan probes all these questions to provide a fascinating account of the story behind the seven great wonders of the ancient world.
Irishman John-Paul Jordan, still only in his thirties, has led an
extraordinary life from the Foreign Legion and security in Iraq to
serving his country in Afghanistan for which he was decorated for
his leadership and bravery and on to herding' journalists on the
front line in Libya and hunting for gold in Afghanistan However,
once back in Civvy Street, the camaraderie was gone; he found
himself a prisoner of war to PTSD. Dehumanised by those
professionals who he had turned to for help, this Special Forces
veteran and former Legionnaire was brought to his knees. His
marriage was over; his home was lost. In isolation, his world
unravelled, and the seeds of destruction had been well and truly
sown. Knowing he would never see military action again and faced
with the realisation of the war raging within him in the spiral of
PTSD, John-Paul felt condemned as a man. But, on 1 April 2016, he
surrendered - life, too, it would seem, has a sense of humour. He
asked for help and found the answers within. In war, John-Paul was
the first to batter down the door, whether he was facing bullets or
bombs. His story is a testament to the strength of the human
spirit: to get back up and to lead from the front. He did not go
through all that' just to go through all that'. This is his story
of his return to freedom and joy. Buckle up, because this veteran
doesn't do anything by halves
From his cage in a putrid, overcrowded Indian gaol, Paul Jordan
reflects on a life lived on the edge and curses the miscalculation
that robbed him of his freedom. His childhood, marred by the loss
of his father and brother, produces a young man hell bent on being
the best of the best - an ambition he achieves by being selected to
join the elite SAS. He survives the gut-wrenching training regime,
deployment to the jungles of Asia and the horrors of genocide in
Rwanda before leaving the army to embark on a career as a security
adviser. His new life sees him pursuing criminals and gun-toting
bandits in Papua New Guinea and the Solomons, protecting CNN
newsmen as the US 7th Cavalry storms into Baghdad with the outbreak
of the Iraq War, and facing death on a massive scale as he
accompanies reporters into the devastated Indonesian town of Banda
Ache, flattened by the Boxing Day tsunami. During his 24 days in an
Indian gaol, Paul Jordan discovers that friendship and human
dignity somehow survive the filth and deprivation. The Easy Day was
Yesterday is fast paced, brutally honest, raw and laced with dark
humour. The core of Paul Jordan's eventful life it is the ability
of the human spirit to survive even in the direst adversity.

My SAS selection course instructor, was as hard as nails. At the
start of each day's training, he would say, 'Men, the easy day was
yesterday.' With that, we'd all let out a silent sigh contemplating
the tortures that lay ahead of us. From his cage in a putrid,
overcrowded Indian gaol, Paul Jordan reflects on a life lived on
the edge and curses the miscalculation that robbed him of his
freedom. His childhood, marred by the loss of his father and
brother, produce a young man hell bent on being the best of the
best - an ambition he achieves by being selected to join the elite
SAS. He survives the gut-wrenching training regime, deployment to
the jungles of Asia and the horrors of genocide in Rwanda before
leaving the army to embark on a career as a security adviser. His
new life sees him pursuing criminals and gun-toting bandits in
Papua New Guinea and the Solomons, protecting CNN newsmen as the US
7th Cavalry storms into Baghdad with the outbreak of the Iraq War,
and facing death on a massive scale as he accompanies reporters
into the devastated Indonesian town of Banda Aceh, flattened by the
Boxing Day tsunami. During his 24 days in an Indian gaol, Paul
Jordan discovers that friendship and human dignity somehow survive
the filth and deprivation. This is a personal account of a tough,
hardened fighter who suddenly finds himself totally dependent on
others for his every need. The Easy Day was Yesterday is fast
paced, brutally honest and raw, but laced with dark humour. The
core of Paul Jordan's eventful life, however, is the strength of
his bonds with family and friends and the ability of the human
spirit to survive even the direst adversity.

Virtually every business is involved in advertising and marketing
in one form or another. However, advertising is subject to a
complex and often daunting web of law and regulation. Although in
many cases there have been attempts to harmonise relevant laws,
there are still significant national variations. Furthermore, in
recent years digital marketing and targeting methods have changed
the face of the advertising industry beyond recognition. Updated
for 2020, International Advertising Law addresses the relevant law
and regulations, as well as setting out practical considerations.
The book covers key areas of advertising law such as local
complaints procedures and enforcement, comparative advertising,
influencer campaigns, sales promotions, ambush marketing, product
placement, direct marketing and online behavioural advertising. The
book also addresses the particular requirements in certain
industries that are subject to specific advertising regulations
(eg, gambling, alcohol, pharmaceuticals, financial
products/services, food and tobacco/e-cigarettes). Edited by Paul
Jordan, partner and head of advertising and Andrew Butcher, senior
associate at UK law firm Bristows, this book includes chapters from
leading experts in 30 jurisdictions. This new edition of
International Advertising Law is essential reading for lawyers,
in-house counsel, advertising executives and anyone else involved
in the advertising/marketing industry. The book serves as an
invaluable and straightforward guide to navigating these complex
legal and regulatory regimes.
Do you find it hard to make friends? Do you struggle to know what
to say to start a conversation? In this book, Paul Jordan, who is
on the autism spectrum, explains how to make sense of everyday
social situations you might encounter at school, university or in
other group settings. He reveals how, with the use of just 65
simple words, it is possible to create 'scripts for thinking' that
break conversations down into small chunks and help you to think of
what to say, whether you are speaking to a fellow student, starting
a conversation with a new friend, calling out bullies or answering
a teacher's question. These small words will be a big help for all
teenagers and young people with ASD.
