From its slyly political title on, the Making America Great: Immigrant Success Stories series explores the achievements of immigrants and the ways in which they have bettered the U.S. across disciplines. Spanning centuries and industries, Famous Immigrant Entrepreneurs begins with German immigrant Levi Strauss' development of a denim empire in the mid-1800s and ends with Moscow-born Sergey Brin's contributions to the development of Google in the late 1990s. The layout is text heavy, and Artists especially would have benefited from more illustrations, but sidebars explain more about immigration and the factors that cause a person to leave his or her home. A valuable, if verbose, reminder about America's strengths.
