The following list of charts are designed to be used as full-page, color, overhead transparencies or duplicatable handouts. They are sharp and clear with vivid colors. If you have trouble reading the fine print on the charts in the State of the World web pages, you won't with these.

They are designed in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). In order to view and print these charts you need Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't have Acrobat, you can get it free from Adobe by clicking here.

Once you've installed Acrobat Reader, you can click on these files to automatically save them on your computer. Depending on your computer's settings, they may automatically open as well.

These charts are optimized to work best in color, but the colors have been chosen carefully to make black and white printing okay too.

If you would like to make overheads and have a color printer, many office supply stores (Like Office Depot or Staples) now carry transparency film to work with color printers. You may also be able to print onto regular paper, and then take it to a shop with a color copier. Whatever you choose, make sure the transparency film is designed for your equipment. Inkjet Printers (which include most color printers) need inkjet transpariencys. Laser printers need Laser transparencys, and Copiers need transparencies designed for copiers.
