BBC Wildlife magazine; "An intimate and stunningly illustrated account...These animals have been the subject of intensive study ever since Jane Goodall first made their acquaintance in 1960, but surely no other cameras have lingered on them so lovingly...this is much more than another African coffee table book.

Book SynopsisKeep Your Eye on the Wall brings together seven award-winning artist-photographers and four essayists, all responding to the Wall that suurounds Gaza in images or words. A beautifully packaged book published in a concertina format, with a foreword from Raja ShehadehTrade Review'Shockingly beautiful and evocative - With great skill and beauty, the artists echo the feelings of much of the Palestinians that have to make do with life in a divided, disfigured land - Through their photographs, the artists have succeeded in universalising a great, deep wound that will take years to heal.' Raja Shehadeh 'A beautifully balanced combination of visual and textual explorations of the wall as a physical and psychological barrier ... the possible benefits and pitfalls of incorporating the wall into artistic production are tackled head-on ... While art certainly can beautify, it can also serve as a vehicle to expose a truth, provoke a new perspective in the viewer, pose questions, document events, educate or tell a story. The photographs in "Keep Your Eye on the Wall" do all this and more ... Whatever your take on the dangers or benefits of art inspired by the wall, this is a beautiful book, balancing insightful, thought-provoking writing with a wonderful and varied selection of photographs by some of Palestine's most talented artists.' Daily Star, Lebanon "This project is a powerful endeavour, and creates a tangible and powerful collection of images and thoughts on this particular neo-colonial structure. The photographs and reflections that it contains spark immediate recall in anyone who has experienced the wall and its effects firsthand, and has significance in communicating an awareness of its tangible existence and its ramifications for readers who approach it from a greater distance. At the same time, it presents a certain stimulus or provocation for thought rather than a summation or thesis regarding the ongoing existence of such a management and constriction of lived space." Warscapes 'Seven artist-photographers and four essayists searingly present the wall in pictures and text, in a beautiful accordion bound book, that like the wall, extends in a long line from beginning to end ... One can only hope that this wall will someday fall and the disputed areas will be peacefully reconciled to the advantage of both sides. This book embodies that hope.' Publishers Weekly. 'Stunning testimony.' The Booklist Reader
