transmitting data through a noisy channel and correcting
errors in corrupted messages. It is of central importance
for many applications in computer science or

introduction to coding theory whilst only assuming basic
linear algebra. It contains a detailed and rigorous
introduction to the theory of block codes and moves on
to more advanced topics like BCH codes, Goppa codes
and Sudan's algorithm for list decoding.

When Rupert Murdoch, executive chairman, News
Corporation, blew up more than $870 million buying
Star TV from Richard Li in the early 1990s, analysts were
dismayed. Why on earth had Murdoch invested in a pan-
Asian broadcaster that was neither fish nor fowl?
More than twenty-five years later, with revenues of over
$2 billion, Star India is one of the country's three largest
media firms. Murdoch's instinct had done what a
hundred investor summits could not: showcased the
potential of the Indian media market to the world.

This collection of essays offers a way of reading texts
and testaments by suggesting that there is no dispute
between critical skeptical thinking and our intuitive
grasp of the opulent, shimmering matter that lies strewn
all around us. One can wonder at the large forces of
existence and yet colour such wonderment with a tenor
of incredulity. That is how we deal with the ineradicable
vehemence of life as participants and as observers. This
could be called a counter-romantic way of approaching
icons and images, confessions and treatises, journeys
and turbulences.

Most philosophers agree that causal knowledge is
essential to decision-making: agents should choose from
the available options those that probably cause the
outcomes that they want. This book argues against this
theory and in favour of evidential or Bayesian decision
theory, which emphasises the symptomatic value of
options over their causal role. It examines a variety of
settings, including economic theory, quantum mechanics
and philosophical thought-experiments, where causal
knowledge seems to make a practical difference.
