Here are some books by Bay Area authors recently released in paperback.

The Price of Privilege: How Parental Pressure and Material Advantage Are Creating a Generation of Disconnected and Unhappy Kids

(Harper; 246 pages; $13.95) by Madeline Levine: The Marin County clinical psychologist's insightful and helpful book about raising teens focuses on middle- to upper-middle-class families, where parents who want the best for their kids in a super-competitive society often end up overinvolved and underconnected at the same time. She has sound advice from her 25 years of counseling both teens and parents and from nationwide data that reveal how to amend parenting styles so we can raise happy kids instead.

The Terror Dream: Myth and Misogyny in an Insecure America

(Picador; 464 pages; $16) by Susan Faludi: This scathing look at the gendered reaction to 9/11, and its roots in founding American settler myths, makes the case that the "peculiar" response was distinctly anti-feminist. Faludi documents the desperate search for traditional male heroes in the days after the attacks, with the media, for instance, objectifying the manliness of the firefighters even as the firefighters themselves howled that they, too, had been victims - of poor equipment and nonworking radios.

Now & Then: The Poet's Choice Columns, 1997-2000

(Counterpoint; 301 pages; $16.95) by Robert Hass: This collection contains all of the former poet laureate's Poet's Choice columns for the Washington Post in chronological order. The columns were syndicated across the country from 1997 to 2000 and include the work of poets such as Wallace Stevens, Rita Dove, John Ashbery, Robert Frost, Jaime Sabines and Czeslaw Milosz.
