The seminar focusses on how all this carbonated water came to be, where it was used and who their customers were.
Its quite a story starting with safe drinking water needs, the aerated water experience, refillable bottles and on to the big business it is today!
The seminar is presented by 2 authors on the subject.
- Albert Latovica has the added perspective of a long-time bottle digger, an author with his wife about bottles, and academic researcher.
- Ian Lubek, author and lecturer on the social history of public health efforts to locate sources of safe community drinking water; he looks at the parallel development of the artificially carbonated water industry (1750-1980), and its employing of refillable siphon bottles.
