Archimedes,
the Center of Gravity, and the First Law of Mechanics
Andre Koch Torres Assis
(paperback, 187 pages; ISBN
978-0-9732911-6-2)
Price: $20US
Archimedes,
the Center of Gravity, and the First Law of Mechanics deals with
the most fundamental aspects of physics. The book describes the main
events in the life of Archimedes and the content of his works. It goes
on to discuss a large number of experiments relating to the
equilibrium of suspended bodies under the influence of Earth’s
gravitational force. All experiments are clearly described and
performed with simple, inexpensive materials. These experiments lead
to a clear conceptual definition of the center of gravity of material
bodies and illustrate practical procedures for locating it precisely.
The conditions of stable, neutral, and unstable equilibrium are
analyzed. Many equilibrium toys and games are described and explained.
Historical aspects of the concept are presented, together with the
theoretical values of center of gravity obtained by Archimedes. The
book also explains how to build and calibrate precise balances and
levers. Several experiments are performed leading to a mathematical
definition of the center of gravity and the first law of mechanics,
also called the law of the lever. Consequences of this law and
different explanations of it are described at the end of the book,
together with an exhaustive analysis of the works of Euclid and
Archimedes. [more]

The Electric Force of a Current
Weber and the surface charges of
resistive conductors carrying steady currents
Andre Koch Torres Assis and Julio Akashi
Hernandes
(paperback, 239 pages; ISBN
978-09732911-5-5)
Price: $20US
The Electric Force of a Current analyzes
the electric force between a charge and a circuit carrying a steady current when
they are at rest relative to one another. It presents experiments and analytical
calculations showing the existence of this force, contrary to the statements of
many scientists. The force is proportional to the voltage of the battery
connected to the resistive circuit. It also includes calculations of the
potential and electric field inside and outside resistive conductors carrying
steady currents, and the distribution of charges along the surface of the
conductors that generate this field. It contains two appendices that discuss the
pioneering and revolutionary works of Wilhelm Weber and Gustav Kirchhoff, and a
substantial bibliography of modern literature on the topic.

Old Physics for New
a worldview alternative to Einstein's relativity
theory
Thomas E. Phipps, Jr.
(paperback, 258 pages; ISBN
0-9732911-4-1)
Price: $20US
From the author of Heretical Verities,
a study more sharply focused on the sins of relativity theory. Where physicists
see transcendent beauty, Phipps finds institutionalized ugliness. Where field
theorists have eyes only for the glitter of Maxwell and Einstein, he commends
the subtler attractions of the Cinderella of modern electromagnetic theory,
Heinrich Hertz.

Einstein and Poincaré
the physical vacuum
Valeri V. Dvoeglazov (ed.)
(paperback, 184 pages; ISBN 0-9732911-3-3)
Price: $20US
In 1905, Einstein “abolished” the ether from physics. Yet the
idea of a physical plenum has persisted in modern theoretical models. What is the
current status of the “physical vacuum”?

From
Galileo to Lorentz... and beyond
Principles
of a fundamental theory of space and time
Joseph
Lévy
(paperback,
94 pages; ISBN 0-9732911-1-7)
Price: $20US
As
we know from a letter sent to his friend Maurice Solovine, unlike his
followers, Einstein
was not satisfied with his theory.
Einstein's concerns are
analyzed
in From
Galileo to Lorentz... and beyond . As demonstrated in
the
book, relativity
theory failed
to answer several fundamental
questions. A new theory is
proposed that
covers a wider
range of facts than relativity.

and the Ether

Although Einstein is widely credited with abolishing the ether
concept, he actually introduced a new relativistic ether in 1916, developing the
idea in his later works. The story of Einstein and the rebirth of the ether How
Einstein came to reject the 19th century ether Three relativistic ether models
developed by Einstein Einstein’s treatment of spacetime as a material

Pushing
Gravity
New perspectives on Le Sage’s theory of gravitation
edited by Matthew R. Edwards
(paperback, 316 pages; ISBN 0-9683689-7-2)
Price: $20US
Since Newton’s time many have proposed that gravitation
arises from the absorption by material bodies of minute particles or waves
filling space. Such absorption would cause bodies to be pushed into each
other’s shadows. The principal early proponent of this idea was Georges-Louis
Le Sage. The essays in this book explore the remarkable three hundred year saga
of Le Sage’s theory, gravitational shielding and the experiments of Q.
Majorana, and new and recent Le Sage Models.

Relational
Mechanics
Andre
K.T. Assis
(paperback, 285 pages; ISBN 0-9683689-2-1)
Price: $20US
Relational Mechanics is a new mechanics that replaces
Einstein's theories of relativity. It implements Mach's principle quantitatively
based on Weber's relational law and the principle of dynamical equilibrium. It
explains Newton's bucket experiment as due to gravitational interaction between
the water and the distant universe when in relative rotation. The book is
intended for physicists, engineers, mathematicians, historians, philosophers of
science and students.
