OECD data comes alive with OECD Factbook 2008, featuring new dynamic online diagrams, and at a new lower price. The free online economic statistics in the 2008 OECD Factbook <http://www.sourceoecd.org/factbook> have been transformed to include animated diagrams of the key indicators which bring the data alive visually. The interactive graphs enable users to clearly observe trends in the statistics and interact with the data to perform their chosen comparisons between countries. The Factbook also includes increased data for key non-OECD Member Countries, Brazil, Chile, China, Estonia, India, Israel, Russia, Slovenia and South Africa. The OECD Factbook, which covers the whole spectrum of OECD statistics in one go, is available in print at a new lower price of 35 Euros, $50. The electronic version, complete with interactive diagrams, is available free online or in an enhanced version. The 2008 OECD Factbook is packed with new indicators on tertiary education, migration, labour compensation, and nuclear energy, all enhanced with links to the source data and analysis in Excel files.
