Nice graphs showing up more and more at LeMonde.fr, great tool and easy data retrieval too (Datawrapper).
R Notebook with rCharts (by Ramnath Vaidyanathan) — and I suspect that this is only the beginning. Visualization is more and more interesting these days. Hat tip to KJH for linking to the video.

“The root problem is that mortality is inevitable for everyone, everywhere. This graphic lumps together pneumonia deaths at age 1 with car accidents at age 20, and cancer deaths at 50 with heart disease deaths at 80. We typically don’t (and I would argue should’t) assign the same weight to a death in childhood or the prime of life with one that comes at the end of a long, satisfying life. The end result is that this graphic greatly overemphasizes the importance of non-communicable diseases in the 20th century — that’s the impression most laypeople will walk away with.” (via Brett Keller – global health & development » This beautiful graphic is not really that useful)
