Marcus Weber Livres

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.

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.

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).

Physik zum Staunen und Nachmachen Sie möchten mit Wirbelringen zum Star im Schwimmbad werden, einen Feuertornado im Papierkorb entfesseln oder mit Ihren Kindern Raketen bauen, die jedes Gartenfest rocken? Kein Problem! Judith und Marcus Weber liefern zahlreiche zündende Ideen zum Nachmachen. 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! Mit einem Vorwort von Elton Ausstattung: mit Strichzeichnungen

Alles physikalisch! Wissen Sie, warum wir beim Fahrradfahren immer Gegenwind haben und was wir dagegen tun können? Wieso die Kavitation Schiffe bremst, uns aber hilft, Gurkengläser zu öffnen? Wie man die Kondensation austrickst und beschlagene Brillen verhindert? Ob Schwerkraft, Reibung oder Treibhauseffekt – physikalische Prinzipien machen unser ganzes Leben aus, ob uns das gefällt oder nicht. Judith und Marcus Weber erzählen humorvoll von Momenten, wo die Physik richtig nervt – und von solchen, wo sie hilft. Und sie verraten, wie wir es schaffen, uns physikalische Effekte zunutze zu machen. Denn mit den richtigen Tricks arbeitet die Physik für uns statt gegen uns – und der Gegenwind ist plötzlich gar nicht mehr so nervig. Marcus Weber tritt regelmäßig als Physikexperte in der ARD-Quizshow »Wer weiß denn sowas XXL« auf
