Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is a cautionary book by an Australian fire investigation officer that will come as a "shock and surprise to many". He tells the true stories of "incendiarism, arson, pyromania and sheer carelessness" that lead to the setting off of a fire alarm, and he explains the investigations that go on afterward to determine the cause and identify the fire-raisers. Illustrated with sections of black & white photographs. From what I can tell, there was never a U.S. edition of this U.K. book. Edges are slightly browned and there's a bookseller label on front pastedown, but a very good copy in a very good, slightly browned and edgeworn dust jacket, rubbed and a little faded on spine panel.

Bette Bao Lord (born Bao Shuqin, 1938) is a Chinese American author and memoirist best known for works exploring modern Chinese history, diaspora identity, and cross-cultural experience. Born in Shanghai, she emigrated to the United States in 1946 when her father served the Chinese Nationalist government. Her memoir Eighth Moon recounted her family's separation during the Communist revolution and informed much of the emotional and historical background for Spring Moon. Married to diplomat Winston Lord, she became an influential interpreter of Chinese culture for American audiences during the post-China-opening era of the 1970s and 1980s.
