520 3  This open access book visualizes mortality dynamics in the
       Lexis diagram. While the standard approach of plotting 
       death rates is also covered, the focus in this book is on 
       the depiction of rates of mortality improvement over age 
       and time. This rather novel approach offers a more 
       intuitive understanding of the underlying dynamics, 
       enabling readers to better understand whether period- or 
       cohort-effects were instrumental for the development of 
       mortality in a particular country. Besides maps for single
       countries, the book includes maps on the dynamics of 
       selected causes of death in the United States, such as 
       cardiovascular diseases or lung cancer. The book also 
       features maps for age-specific contributions to the change
       in life expectancy, for cancer survival and for 
       seasonality in mortality for selected causes of death in 
       the United States. The book is accompanied by instructions
       on how to use the freely available R Software to produce 
       these types of surface maps. Readers are encouraged to use
       the presented tools to visualize other demographic data or
       any event that can be measured by age and calendar time, 
       allowing them to adapt the methods to their respective 
       research interests. The intended audience is anyone who is
       interested in visualizing data by age and calendar time; 
       no specialist knowledge is required.
