Case bound good condition book and dust jacket. From the dust jacket - "Fire From Heaven is a serious and often hair-raising history and examination of Nature's oddest phenomenon: the so-called Spontaneous Combustion of the human body. Coroners and doctors are reluctant to discuss the phenomenon, or even to admit that it exists, but the eerie fact remains that the evidence proving that human beings can burst spontaneously into flames is overwhelming. Michael Harrison assembles the precisely dated case histories, examines the literary and historical background, and brilliantly presents his own explanation of this strangest of human mysteries.
