Welcome to the Miscellaneous Materials Reading Club Collection MM019. 

Current CO2 PPM: 414.97 ppm
(Optimally we need to get back to 350, however, 275ppm or so — pre industrial levels — is preferable!)

This is the last "old" MM — season 2 is over — starting with MM20 they are "new" in that they've been collected since the start of 2021. I'll keep the frequency high I hope, and every 2 weeks hit you with a new set so as to be back to collecting AND sending at the same time in a few months time...

Okay, this 19th collection of Miscellaneous Materials is a strange one? There is a PDF on a standard for Ebooks; Some discussion of the dark side of managerialism in college/university settings, the philosophy of simple living, different ideas as to what "responsibility" means in the design context, a concept called "the total library," how to invoke your 5th amendment privileges in an American Court of Law, Political economies in the work place, a bit of Vernacular Design, how the idea of carbon drawdown is affecting sustainable development goals around the world, why platypus's have no teeth but do have a 6th sense, and employee energy benefits ... whew!? What was the rhyme and reason behind this collection? I have no clue. These were collected over the last months of 2020, maybe September, October, & November? So the "why these pdfs" is lost to my incredibly poor recent memory!

Thanks. So! Get to reading, and as always, let me know what you found interesting.
