Boy, is this not a great website. GapMinder provides beautiful global data for those of us who (1) get creeped out by data, but also (2) never know where to get it when we need and (3) can't afford to buy data. They're data is dynamic and informative. I particularly like the World Health Chart. If you download the program, be sure to run logged child survival rate against logged GDP. You couldn't make the data fit better - there's such an obvious strong correlation between wealthier countries and child mortality rates. The wealthier the country, the greater the probability of survival for infants. If you want to look at something different, simply click on the vertical axis where the label is (after you download the file) and you can select from dozens of other types of data, many of which have a time dimension which allows you to dynamically view the relationship between the two datapoints change over time.
