Haunting science fiction is found in Dennis R. Hill’s The Eternal Worlds of Richard Crombie, where Richard Crombie travels through various creatively presented after-life environments.
There he visits dreams from his past life as well as those of people throughout history. As these people, he fights mammoths, endures the bubonic plague, lives as a pregnant woman, survives the sinking of a WWII ship, explores the moon, and has many other experiences, in preparation for his eventual cognitive union with a spiritual super being. Throughout these worlds Richard stubbornly persists at holding onto his sensual corporeal being, instead of relinquishing himself to a spiritual existence where only memories and contemplation remain. Hill explores the great sensual component of consciousness, while taking the reader on an exciting journey through four after-life worlds where the soul of humanity is discovered. It’s a fun ride and Crombie’s experiences will stick with you. |

Discover a New World Microbe Models
This is the companion book written for the Dennis R. Hill's globally unique sculpted models of microorganisms to be found elsewhere on this website. There are three domains of life: Archaeota, Procaryota, and Eucaryota. Microorganisms comprise the first two, and are in significant numbers in the remaining one. They are the key most organisms on earth for maintaining the essentials of all ecosystems. Discover the fascinating and varied world of microorganisms as you study threedimensional models of viruses, bacteria, archaea, protists (protozoa and algae), fungi, and microscopic metazoa. The relative sizes are accurate on each plate, with the scales being altered from plate to plate only when necessary because of the great range of sizes for the many microorganisms. |
