This book charts the history of how biological evolution has been
depicted on British television and radio, from the first radio
broadcast on evolution in 1925 through to the 150th anniversary of
Charles Darwin's Origin of the Species in 2009. Going beyond
science documentaries, the chapters deal with a broad range of
broadcasting content to explore evolutionary themes in radio
dramas, educational content, and science fiction shows like Doctor
Who. The book makes the case that the dominant use in science
broadcasting of the 'evolutionary epic', a narrative based on a
progressive vision of scientific endeavour, is part of the wider
development of a standardised way of speaking about science in
society during the 20th century. In covering the diverse range of
approaches to depicting evolution used in British productions, the
book demonstrates how their success had a global influence on the
genres and formats of science broadcasting used today.

Recently the number of applications in the Internet which use data
broadcasts, such as pay-per-view services, has increased greatly.
In broadcast scheduling one is interested in answering user
requests in such services with as little bandwidth as possible by
bundling the answers appropriately. Flows over time are an
important notion arising in connection with various applications in
communication and transportation networks. One of the basic
question here is how can demands in a given network be routed to
their destinations as quickly as possible? Economic relationships
in the Internet are of great interest, e.g., when investigating
robustness issues. Since they are treated as trade secrets, it is a
challenge to infer them form samples of routes taken by packets in
the Internet. The author Alexander Hall gives introductions and
several novel results for these three problem areas. Some of the
main results resolve the complexity of the major optimization
problems encountered in the three areas. Thereby, important and in
some cases long-standing open questions have been answered. From an
algorithmic point of view, optimal and approximation algorithms for
each of the three areas are proposed. This book is of interest to
scientists in academia and industry working on research problems
pertaining to communication and transportation networks.
