Lifeboat Girls Book 2
Rachel was born to English 10-pound-pom parents in sub-tropical Brisbane, Australia, and when the family moved back to Poole, Dorset, she was just 5 years old. She then grew up against the stunning backdrop of Poole Harbour where she sailed and played on the beaches of Brownsea Island and Studland, and walked across the Purbeck Hills, all of which inspired her imagination and provided the setting of her debut historical fiction novel set in WWII. Rachel’s first husband, a Poole RNLI lifeboatman, died in a diving accident in 1992. Rachel married her second husband in 1996 and they moved to Brisbane where they raised their three children. Rachel studied for a BA in Literature and worked in publishing as an editor before writing her first novel. She is almost a Secondary English and History teacher and is writing the second of three books contracted by Boldwood – all of which feature WWII and Poole.

Kenntnis der Notausgänge ist der Anfang der Philosophie
Anekdotisch, witzig, klug: Der große Filmemacher und Philosoph Alexander Kluge über (Not-)Ausgänge der Geschichte.Alexander Kluge betrachtet Ereignisse der Weltgeschichte, nimmt ungewöhnliche Perspektiven ein, hinterfragt, ergänzt, stellt Gedankengänge großer Philosophen in einen aktuellen Zusammenhang. Wie wäre die Geschichte verlaufen, hätten unsere Vorfahren Bestimmtes frühzeitig geahnt oder gelernt? Wären zu bestimmten Zeitpunkten der Geschichte andere Wege eingeschlagen worden, hätten Katastrophen nicht ihr endgültiges Ausmaß angenommen, hätten die Verantwortlichen bestimmte Dinge gewusst? Wäre unsere Gegenwart eine andere? Oder ist es das Schicksal des Menschen, dass (Not-)Ausgänge nicht gekannt werden, weil sie im Moment des Ereignisses (noch) nicht existier(t)en?Im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert erlebt die Philosophie ihre sogenannte dritte Renaissance. Sie errichtet aber auch, so Kluge, eine Art Festungsbau gegen das, wo sie eine Quelle der Irrtümer vermutet: das Ahnungsvermögen, die Intuition, die Theologie, das noch Unbekannte. Später suchen große Philosophen wie Martin Heidegger diese neuen ¿Bewegungen¿ zu begleiten, werden aber rasch zurück- gedrängt. Kritische Denker müssen emigrieren.Alexander Kluge schildert persönliche Momente und Dinge, die heute anders erscheinen als damals, also im Laufe der Zeit ihre Bedeutung wechseln können. Welche Rolle spielt also die Zeit bei der Frage nach Ausgängen?Eine philosophische, beobachtende Suche nach den Notausgängen der Geschichte. Kluges These: 'Kenntnis der Notausgänge ist der Anfang der Philosophie!'
