Everything Everywhere Daily - Sun Yat-sen

For over two thousand years, China lived under imperial rule. A series of dynasties and emperors were the defining feature of Chinese governance. 

However, in the early 20th century, China threw off its imperial rulers and became, for the first time in its history, a republic. 

Much of the reason why China became a republic was due to one man.

Learn more about Sun Yat-sen and the downfall of imperial China on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - A new biography of first lady Edith Wilson examines her political influence

Edith Wilson dated and then married Woodrow Wilson while he served as president of the United States in 1915. In her new biography, Untold Power: The Fascinating Rise and Complex Legacy of First Lady Edith Wilson, author Rebecca Boggs Roberts – daughter of the late NPR founding mother Cokie Roberts – explores Wilson's influential role in her husband's administration. But as Roberts tells NPR's Steve Inskeep, at a time when women didn't yet have the right to vote, Wilson often hid her political contributions from the spotlight.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Amazon River

Located in the heart of South America is the Amazon, the world's largest river. It isn’t just big, it is by almost any measure you can think of the world’s largest river, and it is so by a wide margin. 

In addition to the river itself, the Amazon basin is the location of one of the greatest collections of biodiversity on the planet. It is home to millions of species of plants and animals. 

Despite its enormous size and importance, there is one area where the Amazon falls behind the other great rivers of the world.
