In the 1990s, Marshall wrote a history of anarchism, Demanding the Impossible, and a history of the environmental movement, Nature's Web. He considers these two his most important and influential works, though his personal favorite is Riding the Wind, which asserts his spiritual philosophy of "liberation ecology". Marshall's additional travel books addressed Africa, Ireland, and the Maldives.[1] He created a six-hour documentary, Voyage Around Africa on his circumnavigation of the continent.[2] In the 2000s, he authored several books on alchemy, astrology, and magic. Marshall has written for The Observer, The Guardian, The Independent, New Statesman, and the Times Literary Supplement. He also works as a radio and television broadcaster and has appeared on the History Channel.[1]Resurgence magazine named Marshall's Nature's Web among their most essential books of the late 20th century.[3]
