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. Perhaps the largest in scope is Famous Immigrant Scientists, the chapters of which look at the contributions immigrants have made broadly ("Immigrant Biologists") and specifically ("Immigrants Who Ushered in the Atomic Age"). 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.

The United States has been the one of the world leaders in scientific discovery for almost a century, and that is due in no small part to the contributions of immigrants. Yet new arrivals to the country have always faced some measure of hostility and suspicion, despite the fact that American success continues to be built on the backs of immigrants. This volume looks at the scientific achievements of early immigrants, from Joseph Priestley and Nikola Tesla to Enrico Fermi and Albert Einstein, as well as the contributions of modern immigrant scientists from every continent.
