We simplify the formalism of Polder and Van Hove [Phys.Rev.B {\bf 4}, 3303(1971)], which was developed to calculate the heat transfer between macroscopic and nanoscale bodies of arbitrary shape, dispersive and adsorptive dielectric properties. In the non-retarded limit, at small distances between the bodies, the problem is reduced to the solution of an electrostatic problem. We apply the formalism to the study of the heat transfer between: (a) two parallel semi-infinite bodies, (b) a semi-infinite body and a spherical body, and (c) that two spherical bodies. We consider the dependence of the heat transfer on the temperature $T$, the shape and the separation $d$. We determine when retardation effects become important.
