Petr Beckmann:
EINSTEIN PLUS TWO
In 1912, Leigh Page, professor of
mathematical physics at Yale, proved
that the Maxwell equations could be
derived without any further assumptions
by applying the Lorentz transformation
to CoulombrCOs Law. This was regarded as
a triumph of the Einstein theory; yet it
also proved that the Einstein theory
stood'on a single law that has never been
verified at high velocities without circular
logic. Little attention has been paid to
another possibility: that the successes of
the Einstein theory are merely due to the
Lorentz transformation compensating
for an inverse-square law that becomes
inaccurate at high velocities.
This book is based on the assumption
that the velocity that matters, the velo-
city that will make the Lorentz force and
the Maxwell equations valid, is not that
with respect to an observer, but that of
charges (and masses) with respect to the
traversed field.
This results in a theory that satisfies
the relativity principle without having to
distort space and time. It derives all the
experimentally verified phenomena fol-
lowing from the Einstein theory, plus
two more: the quantization of electron
orbits (also the Schr|-dinger equation and
new insight into the nature of PlanckrCOs
constant), which hitherto had to be
postulated, and the Titius series, for
which no dynamic explanation has
hitherto been available.

How about "Theories of Gravitation" by Bergmann.
Though I found out he was a Marxist in Stachel's remarks from
some BU scholars' talk on "philosophy" and "physics".
