Sample title:
The Anatomy of Impact: What Makes the Great Works of Psychology Great. Edited by Robert J. Sternberg.
"The Anatomy of Impact brings together experts in the philosophy, theory, and history of psychology to analyze works of monumental impact and examine what separates some of the most influential psychological works from those that are less successful. Evaluating the careers of eminent scholars and practitioners like Freud, Lewin, James, and Binet, this volume identifies and describes particularly important works, pinpoints specific attributes that led to great impact, and offers practical advice to students and professionals striving to achieve substantial impact in their own work." -- from publisher website.
