About this ebook
Some of the most important American industries and ideas stem from people born outside the United States. Immigrants have had major influence on daily life in the United States, from how Americans search the internet and use their phones to the clothes they wear and the buildings in which they live. Meet 25 immigrants who built empires as artists, scientists, writers, musicians, inventors, and entrepreneurs.
