The Hyperbolic Theory of Special Relativity
by John F Barrett
Publisher: arXiv.org 2019
Number of pages: 90
Description:
The book is based largely on the author's researches presented at conferences in the period 1992 onwards. It is a historically based exposition and an extension of the hyperbolic version of special relativity first proposed by Varicak (1910 etc) and others not long after the appearance of the early papers of Einstein and Minkowski.

Begin the Adventure: How to Break the Light Barrier by A.D. 2070by H. B. Tilton, F. Smarandache - Pima Community College Press
The premise of this book is that the effects of the special theory of relativity are a kinematical perspective rather than being real; but 'reality' is a slippery concept, and it is expected that the reader will keep that in mind.
