At the time of publication, Tasmania generated more electricity per head of population than any place in the world except Norway, and 99% of that power came from water. Lifeblood is Roger Lupton's history of the Hydro-Electric Commission — the Hydro — and the century-long project to harness that resource across the island.

Linda, in the Linda Valley on Tasmania's West Coast Range, was founded in 1899 to support the North Mount Lyell mine, becoming the terminus of the North Mount Lyell Railway. When the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company took over the mine in 1903, most residents shifted uphill to nearby Gormanston, and Linda's importance faded.
