The poem has four parts to it each part becomes darker and darker as the poem progresses from "the jingling and the tinkling" of the bells in part 1 to the "moaning and the groaning" of the bells in part 4. "The Bells" is a heavily onomatopoeic poem which is perhaps best known for the diacopic repetition of the word "bells". ![]() The bells was a particularly interesting poem which specifically revolves around bells, repeatedly mentioning them throughout.

In his new book, The Undoing Project, Lewis tells the the lives of Kahneman and Tversky, the friendship that ungirded their ground-breaking research, and ultimately how that friendship unraveled due to physical distance (when the two took jobs at different institutions) and tension over recognition of the work they did together. The pair might seem an unlikely subject for writer Michael Lewis, who wrote the bestsellers Moneyball, The Big Short, and Flashboys. ![]() Kahneman won the Nobel Prize in economics in 2002, for "for having integrated insights from psychological research into economic science, especially concerning human judgment and decision-making under uncertainty."

But then came the psychologists.ĭaniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky are often referred to as the fathers of behavioral economics, for demonstrating that the human brain relies on mental shortcuts and biases in decision-making, which often leads people to irrational ends.

Middle-aged widow Florence Green is living out her days in a small English seaside town when she gets it into her head to open up a bookshop. Not in the plot, although there is a slight story here, but in the effect the novel was having on me. A comedy of manners without comedy, a too-precious by half story, the personification of the word “quaint.” All of these were phrases I was planning to deploy with devastating effectiveness.
