saw this interesting and dramatic graphic of health care costs and life expectancy in the december issue of National Geographic (click here to view a zoomable image). I believe their goal is to show that increased health care spending (in the US) does not lead to increased life span.
over at ptsblog, jon peltier discusses why this isn’t the best way to present the data (namely, lines between 2 y-axes don’t display a correlation well), revamps (with an x-y scatter plot sized by number of doctor visits), and ends up with this (where the US is still a dramatic outlier!):

![Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species” can be called one of the most important works in the history of science. It evolved over 13 years, published in 6 editions; for instance, the famous notion of “survival of the fittest” did not appear until the 5th edition of the text.
Ben Fry visualizes all the edits and additions introduced in each edition of the work in his latest project titled “On the Origin of Species: The Preservation of Favoured Traces” [benfry.com]. The different revisions are color-coded over a greeked version of the text at pixel-scale. The visualization starts with a full display of the 1st edition, and presents a “replay” of the order of edits over time, with the edits from the 2nd edition building up from left to right, over to the 3rd, and so on…
The data stems from Dr. John van Wyhe, et al. who run The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online.
