How risky is it to marry a cousin? George Arner's 1908 Columbia study chased that question through American vital statistics, family records and the era's heredity science, testing folklore against numbers. A careful early exercise in demography on a subject usually left to whispers. A window on how social science learned to count.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
