Birational geometry of blow-ups of toric varieties and projective spaces along points and lines

In this thesis we study the birational geometry of the blow-ups of toric varieties of Picard number one at a general point, and the blow-up of projective spaces along points and lines. In Chapter 2 we consider the blow-up X of P^3 at 6 points in very general position and the 15 lines through the 6...
