This book presents the history of the science of inertia. Nobody denies the existence of the forces of inertia, but they are branded as "fictitious" because they do not fit smoothly into modern physics. Named by Kepler and given mathematical form by Newton, the force of inertia remains aloof because it has no obvious local cause.  Table of contents: http://www.worldscibooks.com/phy_etextbook/6087/6087_toc.pdf.

The book deals with the resurgence of nineteenth century electromagnetism in physics and electrical engineering. It describes a series of important experiments, and new technologies based on these experiments, which cannot be explained by and analyzed with the modern relativistic electrodynamics of the twentieth century. The Newtonian electrodynamics of Coulomb, Ampere, Neumann, and Kirchhoff, which was current from 1750 to 1900, is fully reviewed and greatly extended to deal with contemporary research on exploding wires, railguns and other electromagnetic accelerators, jet propulsion in liquid metals, arc plasma explosions, capillary fusion, and lightning phenomena. Much of the book is based on the atomic definition of the Amperian current element. Finite element techniques for solving many electrodynamic problems are described. 

Newton Versus Einstein is not merely a critique of contemporary physics, nor just an outline of the debate between followers of the scientific philosophies of Newton and Einstein. It points the way to new technologies, from space accelerators to high-current switches and improved metal refining.

Newton Versus Einstein examines the history of ideas surrounding the debate between followers of Newton and Einstein regarding their scientific philosophies. This thought-provoking volume proves that physics today is the same in its vulnerability to change via experimentation as it was when Galileo fought the dogmatic resistance to his ideas and discoveries. Civilization owes much of its existence to technology, which has its roots in the scientific revolution of the 17th century.

Before Maxwell there was Ampere, and Ampere's equation for forces between charges is still the most accurate way of calculating those forces. As Peter Graneau shows in this groundbreaking book, the Lorentz formulation of electrodynamic laws is simply inadequate. Experiments by Graneau and others show that the century-long attempt to seat electromagnetic reaction forces in space itself must be in error: the reaction forces are always on the sources of action, contrary to the viewpoint of quantum electrodynamics. Read this book if you are willing to have your scientific preconceptions challenged!
