William Jennings Bryan (March 19, 1860 – July 26, 1925) was an American lawyer, orator, and politician. He was a dominant force in the Democratic Party, running three times as the party's nominee for President of the United States in the 1896, 1900, and 1908 elections. He served in the House of Representatives from 1891 to 1895 and as the secretary of state under Woodrow Wilson from 1913 to 1915. Because of his faith in the wisdom of the common people, Bryan was often called "the Great Commoner", and because of his rhetorical power and early fame as the youngest presidential candidate, "the Boy Orator". Born and raised in Illinois, Bryan moved to Nebraska in the 1880s.

THE NIGHT OF MARCH 24, 1989, was dark and cold.

520 An informative and entertaining, non-technical examination of the nature, properties, and importance of water. The text is divided into four principal parts--what is water?; water and life; water in motion; and water and humans, including the problem of pollution--and is thoroughly illustrated with photographs and specially commissioned artwork. Planet Earth is unique in the known solar system because of the presence of liquid water--a substance which covers almost three-quarters of the total surface area of the globe. In straightforward, non-technical language, this book examines this extraordinary substance--which we all take for granted.
