I confess a certain fondness of one argument/observation that I added to the new edition, namely:

 Almost all of the many theories put forth regarding quantum mechanics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpretations_of_quantum_mechanics ) only address a single aspect of the many puzzling features of Q.M. They are essentially ad hoc theories focused on a single issue. Bohr recognized this drawback in his own theory and argued that Complementarity was not unique to quantum mechanics but was a universal principle of nature extending across physics, biology, psychology, and ontology/epistemology. We can admire Bohr for his attempt to broaden his concept, but in retrospect his effort was an abject failure. Eighty some years later his arguments for Complementarity as a principle strike us as forced, self-serving, unproductive and belonging to the grand, ephemeral theories of the nineteenth century: Lamarkism (inheritance of acquired characteristics) or Marxism (class struggle and dictatorship of the proletariat). Does any biologist today really use Complementarity?

                In contrast I would modestly argue that if you take my book’s single proposition (the radical equality of mass and energy) seriously, then potential mass in waveform is just as real as potential energy in field form and the latter characterizes the time release of stored energy just as the former characterizes the space release of stored mass. Mass/energy equality also explains why stressing quanta (molecule, photon) in their extension dimension has no effect on their progression dimension (including the rate of progression in that dimension). The radical equality of mass and energy is not an ad hoc, single-issue theory/principle.

Einstein's Method: A Fresh Approach to Quantum Mechanics and Relativity

Having just completed a new edition of my book some comments on it seems appropriate.

The original manuscript of my book was actually finished in 2005 (by coincidence the year when all the Einstein centenary books/articles appeared). For various reasons the first edition (paperback) did not come out until 2008 and the electronic edition followed somewhat later. In succeeding years, some minor corrections, including typos, were made, once to the print edition and twice to the electronic edition.

By 2010 I was recasting some of my ideas into short essay form for the web and it gradually became apparent that some sections of my book would benefit from revision: some arguments could be simplified or expressed more clearly and in a few cases some arguments could be cut entirely. So I began a major revision in the fall of 2011 and finished it in April of 2012. The current, and hopefully the last, editions are: 3^rd for the print and 4^th for the electronic. The two are identical in content.

The new edition is longer by over 10,000 words. Discussion of the Elitzur-Vaidman interferometer is new and I tried to flesh out my explanation of potential mass. Photon nonlocality gets much more attention and I expanded upon my explanation for the constant velocity of light. I also gave more prominence to the concept of pure entities (photon, inertial mass) that extend in one dimension and progress in the other. Working on the revision has strengthened my conviction that physicists have misunderstood the nature of occurring energy by treating it as a quantity and regarding it as a mere annex to the house they built for existing mass.
