This book aims to trace the common thread which runs through varied phenomena which we call fire. The author explores five broad themes: fire, the phenomenon; fire for comfort; fire for use; fire as hazard; and fire for contemplation. The non-mathematical approach is designed to appeal to the general reader, and experts in the field should find areas of interest which border on their own.
