Book excerpt: Carefully limiting his analysis to the correlation of residential proximity and marriage, social cast/class structures, and occupational status, Dr. Beshers clearly demonstrates how census tract data, official registrations of residence on marriage licenses, and other information can be used to reinforce and corroborate sociological hypotheses. Ultimately, he develops a theoretical model, empirically oriented, of the relationship between spatial distribution and social distance in the average American city.
