Book excerpt: Pam Danziger has just updated her bestseller, including several new categories. Since apparel is now more often a discretionary purchase than a necessity, she has added new sections on apparel for women, men, teens, and children. Focusing on why people buy things they could probably do without, Danziger now covers 37 categories and has added material about the retail market in each one. There are also new stories of excellent marketers and commentary about how things have changed since September 11, 2001. Corporate leaders, marketing and sales executives, strategic planners, futurists, and merchandisers will benefit.
