Antonio, born of an affair between a beautiful actress and a notorious crime boss, lost his mother to drugs and was forced to navigate foster care and survive on the streets of the Bronx. He is ignored by his father, the infamous head of a powerful crime syndicate, and his half-brothers are living the life Antonio used to dream about. Antonio has turned his struggles into a career in the NBA, but when a devastating injury sidelines his basketball career and he finds out he has been duped out of millions by his best friend, Antonio is forced to turn to the father who never claimed him. Paige came from money. Private schools, trips around the world, and extravagant shopping sprees were all part of her upbringing. Her father is a well-respected politician who is not happy when his daughter falls in love with a man who represents everything the senator despises. But Paige's father harbors many secrets of his own, including one that will soon rock his family to the core. In spite of their own marital issues, Paige's parents try to exert pressure on her to leave Antonio. She lets love guide her, and despite her parents' threats to disinherit her, she marries Antonio anyway. When secrets, lies, and ties to a dangerous criminal underworld cause their opposing worlds to collide, the young couple is torn between their love for one another and their competing family loyalties. Family secrets, power, money, fame, and love are the ties that bind in this emotionally charged street tale

Just as every superhero has an origin story, so does every drug dealer who holds the title “kingpin." This is the origin of a true dope girl who took Philadelphia by storm in the period of one summer. Before all of the hood fame, fancy cars, nice clothes, lavish homes, luxurious vacations, and loads of money, Sarita Powell had to go through the mud. She experienced the heartbreak of her mother's death when she was a little girl; pain from the abuse she endured at the hands of the very person she'd hoped would keep her safe; and confusion about the many family secrets and lies that one day would show their ugly face. It wasn't until all of these hardships were behind her that Sarita found herself in a position of power, strength, and respect. She is the woman she never imagined she could become.

This book presents for the first time a wide selection of paintings by the artist, who was born in Stuttgart in 1965 and now lives in Berlin. They are narrative tongue-in-cheek images, allusive group portraits and urban landscapes with grotesque re-wordings of social orders, and caricatured and exaggerated individual characters. There are flashes of painterly sophistication, so that some works may be read as a capriccio, desolate and romantic at the same time. Great painters seem to always resonate? Marcus Weber displays an unmistakable enthusiasm for artists such as James Ensor and Philip Guston. All in all, this creates a grotesque mixture mocking each and every hierarchy, based as much on productive bridging into the realm of comics by Georg Herriman as on art history. Weber is a genre painter in the best tradition who paints images of society. As a subtle and multi-layered reaction to current political and social conditions, these works outrival so-called new history painting, which is usually exhausted by painted copies of press photos. Accordingly, the New York Times (May 2, 2018), on the occasion of his first solo exhibition in the United States, attested to the artist a surprisingly up-to-date approach in his emulating the immutability of real life. Exhibition: Villa Merkel, Galerien der Stadt Esslingen, Germany (24.6. - 19.8.2018).

Philly Girl 2 will have you re-evaluating the bonds of friendship and love. It will make you think twice about chasing street money, as loyalty is put to the test with drugs, murder, sex, and mayhem in the mix. This quick thriller will have your jaw dropping. Born and raised in the slums of West Philadelphia, Rita is no stranger to the street life. In fact, she indulges in the fast life, getting money from selling drugs just as hard as the men she competes with. It’s no surprise that her financial growth brings on the drama of having to protect her money from the many wolves bred in the city of Philly. But Rita has no idea what she’s getting herself into when she falls for a man she met only 24 hours ago. Rita doesn’t know the true meaning of loyalty before she meets Dave, a man who, when it comes down to it, would choose loyalty first and make love work second. That’s a decision he will have to make when it turns out the woman he’s falling in love with is also the woman he is supposed to kill.

Wenn man Poesie zu Papier bringt, ist es häufig eine Ansammlung von korrigierten, durchgestrichenen oder kommentierten Zeilen. Ein ziemliches Chaos könnte man sagen. Und doch findet sich in jedem Chaos ein Hauch von Kunst. In diesem Buch finden sich, neben der Sammlung einiger Texte, eben auch Auszüge aus dem chaotischen Notizbuch wieder. Handschriftliche Kommentare und Skizzen runden die Zeilen ab. Viel Spaß beim Lesen und sich wiederfinden.

Warum Physik manchmal nerven kann, aber immer großartig ist – und einfach alles um uns herum erklärt. Judith und Marcus Weber liefern zahlreiche zündende Ideen zum Nachmachen, für kleine und große Forscher. Sie erzählen humorvoll vom Alltag voller verrückter naturwissenschaftlicher Phänomene, bieten einfache Versuchsanleitungen und erklären verständlich die Wissenschaft dahinter. Die verblüffenden Experimente der Physikanten – jetzt endlich zum Selbermachen! Tischtennisbälle schweben lassen, Trockeneins selber herstellen, ein Luftkissenfahrzeug bauen, »Mensch ärgere Dich nicht« gewinnen, einen Nebel-Tornado wirbeln lassen, Zahnbürsten um den Finger drehen, eine Schaumfestiger- Autobahn bauen und vieles mehr! Die Physikanten sind ein Team aus Wissenschaftlern, Schauspielern und Moderatoren. Mit ihrer spektakulären Physik- und Wissenschaftsshow haben sie bereits mehr als 750.000 Zuschauer begeistert. Für das Fernsehen (Galileo, Frag doch mal die Maus, Die beste Klasse Deutschlands, etc.) konzipiert und baut das Team um Dipl.-Phys. Marcus Weber spektakuläre Experimente. Die Physikanten wurden für ihre Arbeit mehrfach ausgezeichnet, zuletzt mit der Medaille für naturwissenschaftliche Publizistik der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft. Enthält die beiden Bände »Physik ist, wenn's knallt« und »Phantastisch physikalisch«. Mit einem Vorwort von Elton.
