       II. Theoretical Ideas. 
520    Direct Energy Conversion discusses both the physics behind
       energy conversion processes and a wide variety of energy 
       conversion devices. A direct energy conversion process 
       converts one form of energy to another through a single 
       process. The first half of this book surveys multiple 
       devices that convert to or from electricity including 
       piezoelectric devices, antennas, solar cells, light 
       emitting diodes, lasers, thermoelectric devices, and 
       batteries. In these chapters, physical effects are 
       discussed, terminology used by engineers in the discipline
       is introduced, and insights into material selection is 
       studied. The second part of this book puts concepts of 
       energy conversion in a more abstract framework. These 
       chapters introduce the idea of calculus of variations and 
       illuminate relationships between energy conversion 
       processes.
