Salter (political science, American U., Cairo) traces the history of the passport within the context of international relations. Coverage includes the concerns that prompted the invention of the passport; its development from the perspectives of violence and health; its evolution; situations in which it has been replaced by other structures; how passports and their carriers are handled at international borders; and the functions of the passport in the context of international mobility. Academic, but accessible to the general reader. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
