Hello all, This week, the highlights of the link re v iew are distributed evenly across the three sections: In Development there are intere sting debates on 'Generation Z' & HR, the ethics and value of 'bi g d ata' and why policy-makers like to emb race 'uncertainty' unless they actually have to make a decision... This month's Himal Mag feat ures a n article from Sri Lanka that reminds peace resear chers that violence often affects 'post- con flic t' societies in many different ways than the actual war; in Anthropology there's a very interesting essay on Napoleon Chagnon and the long-lasting debat es around his research on the Yanomami tribe and how it has kept the discipli n e busy over many years; and in Academia the Th esis Whisperer asks the provocative question whether 'academic assholes' are calling the shots and w hether 'ci rcles of niceness' can be a coun terweight.
