The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have made this publication
(Adobe Acrobat [.pdf] format only) available. It graphically illustrates
eighteen causes of mortality in the US from 1988-1992. Mortality is broken
down geographically (by CDC Health Service Areas) for such causes as heart
disease, various cancers, stroke, motor vehicle injuries, and homicide,
among others. Interested users should study the introductory chapter
(particularly the Reader's Guide) for a full explanation of how the maps
work. These are color graded maps, so a color printer is crucial to those
users who wish to print sections of the atlas. [JS]
