    About this ebook

    "Philosophies" is a book of poems by the British doctor and polymath Ronald Ross. He received the Nobel Prize for his work on the transmission of malaria. He was the first man to prove that mosquitoes transmitted malaria. He carried out this research in India, where malaria outbreaks were regular. During his stay there, he took a rest by writing poems, which distracted him from his study. As a result, the presented here poetic collection "Philosophies" was created.
