AB  - The goal of this book is simple: We would like to show how mortality dynamics can be visualized in the so-called Lexis diagram. To appeal to as many potential  readers as possible, we do not require any specialist knowledge. This approach  may be disappointing: Demographers may have liked more information about  the mathematical underpinnings of population dynamics on the Lexis surface as  demonstrated, for instance, by Arthur and Vaupel in 1984. Statisticians would have  probably preferred more information about the underlying smoothing methods that  were used. Epidemiologists likewise might miss discussions about the etiology of  diseases. Sociologists would have probably expected that our results were more  embedded into theoretical frameworks....
