Bernard H. Lavenda, "A New Perspective on Relativity: An Odyssey in Non-Euclidean Geometries"
English | 2012 | ISBN-10: 9814340480 | PDF | 696 pages | 10 MB
Starting off from noneuclidean geometries, apart from the method of Einstein's equations, this book derives and describes the phenomena of gravitation and diffraction. A historical account is presented, exposing the missing link in Einstein's construction of the theory of general relativity: the uniformly rotating disc, together with his failure to realize, that the Beltrami metric of hyperbolic geometry with constant curvature describes exactly the uniform acceleration observed.
This book also explores these questions:

The Origins of Mass
Thermodynamics of Relativity
General Relativity in a Non-Euclidean Geometrical Setting
