"Both motivational and informative, Snap is a treat to read! Katherine Ramsland will singlehandedly increase the number of bright ideas to be born in the coming decade!"
Shelley Carson, author, Your Creative Brain
I've always said intuition is the highest form of knowledge. SNAP shows me why I might be right. This is a fascinating exploration of the mind when it's in hyperdrive, as illuminating as it is fun to read. Ms. Ramsland reveals the science and psychology of the aha! moment in vivid detail, with intriguing examples, while being wise enough to leave room for the consideration of a mystical element to human consciousness. Highly recommended."
Dean Koontz, New York Times bestselling author
Of course, someone who had so much insight into the human mind who had worked as a therapist, who had a graduate degree in clinical psychology would be able not only to explain the troubled mind, but would also be able to explore whats best and smartest about the way we think.

WELCOME TO THE LATEST INSTALLMENT in the New York Times bestselling series of stories about Americas most notorious criminals.
Thats right. No matter where you live, youre in the middle of Notorious USA.
Here, youll find them allthis time were talking New Jersey
Home of the Jersey Devil, New Jersey has its share of other devils, from predatory nurses to thrill killers and sadists. Here youll find a family that preyed on one of their own, a mass murderer with a List of Grudges, an adulterous minister killed with his mistress, and a wife who cut up her husband. This state is rich in crime, with a significant number of high profile cases, like the Lindbergh and Reso kidnappings, Unruhs rampage, and the celebrated success of Americas Most Wanted in tracking down a man whod slaughtered his entire family. Weve written about some of these cases before. As time passes we learn more about criminals and about what makes them tick, about their crimes, and about their victims.
