Life on Mars by Jennifer Brown
Twelve-year-old Arcturus Betelgeuse Chambers comes from a family of stargazers and his quest to find life on other planets is unstoppable.
But when Arty's family announces they're moving to Las Vegas, the City of Lights threatens to put an end to his stargazing dreams forever-especially when he has to stay with his scary next door neighbor while his parents look for a house. As it turns out, Mr. Death isn't terrifying at all-he's actually Cash Maddox, a bonafide astronaut But when Cash falls ill, will Arty find the courage to complete his mission by himself? And might he actually prove, once and for all, that there is life on Mars? For fans of Frank Cottrell Boyce's Cosmic and Jack Gantos's Dead End in Norvelt comes a heartwarming story of true friendship-earthly or otherwise.
Jennifer Brown became the Collection Manager for the Glass Flowers in 2012. Her background in art and library science combined with her experience assisting glass artist Toots Zynsky prepared her to work with this unique collection. Scott E. Fulton is Head Conservator for the Glass Flowers. An expert in objects conservation, he joined the Harvard University Herbaria in 2015 after serving as principal consultant on the care and preservation of the collection since 1997. Donald H. Pfister is the Asa Gray Professor of Systematic Botany and Curator of the Farlow Library and Herbarium of Cryptogamic Botany. He previously served as Director of the Harvard University Herbaria and had his first view of the Glass Flowers as a graduate student visitor. Natalja Kent has over 15 years of experience photographing collections for auction houses, galleries and university museums. Her vision for the interaction of light and glass are apparent in these remarkable images that capture the detailed structure of the plants and also the hand of the maker.
