About The Future Map of the World, with Tim Marshall
Writer and international journalist Tim Marshall’s iconic bestseller Prisoners of Geography has sold over three million copies worldwide, in its original and recent, fully updated edition.
His clear and insightful analysis of the global geopolitical landscape in the book and its successors The Power of Geography and The Future of Geography has for so many been a vital guide to understanding world history, current conflicts and changing power structures and the possible future.
For this special event accompanying the British Library exhibition Secret Maps Tim explores how the political map of the world may or may not change in the years ahead.
