Okay it's actually the Top 37 Most cited authors, but that would 've lessened the Headline Impact. Anywayz it's interesting to see that the Top 3 are PoMo frenchmen. We're still at Big Time Green if you ask me. Next comes Albert Bandura, who was a surprise for me in this list, but then I always liked this guy. He did a great deal for me in lessening my paranoia around psychologists with his common-sense reasoning. Very nice writing. And then all these other guys... but look for yourself.
