In episode 12 UNP founder and curator Grant Scott is in his shed considering the importance of photographer experiences and his own experiences as an art director working with Paris based photographer JeanLoup Sieff and New York based Sylvia Plachy. Plus this week publisher, photographer, lecturer and founder of Cafe Royal Books Craig Aitkinson takes on the challenge of supplying Grant with an audio file no longer than 5 minutes in length in which he answer's the question ‘What Does Photography Mean to You?' Craig Aitkinson set up Café Royal Books, as an independent publishing house based in Southport, England. Originally as a way to disseminate drawings and photographs, in multiples, affordably, quickly, and internationally without relying on 'the gallery'. Since 2012 he has been making an ongoing series of publications, the broad subject of which is British Documentary Photography since 1960. This includes international photographers working within the British Isles, and photographers from the British Isles working internationally. There are a few exceptions. Craig publish's at least one title every week, presenting, generally, one series by one photographer. Every 100th title, he publish's a limited edition boxed set of those 100 books — aimed at public collections, so that the books remain accessible. Café Royal Books is just Craig Aitkinson. www.caferoyalbooks.com

One of the best known Malaysian Chinese Grandmasters is Wong Kiew Kit. Emily Buchanan met him to learn more about this ancient practice. The Church of England has announced plans for 100 new churches in England. The Bishop of Burnley, Philip North and Rector of Holy Trinity Guildford Robert Cotton discuss the future shape of church and whether the church has it's priorities right. This week the Labour Party will formally adopt its new 'anti-Semitism code' - a definition of what does and does not amount to anti-Semitism when it comes to disciplinary proceedings against its members. But the wording of the code has been heavily criticised. Kevin Bocquet reports. Professor Eamon Duffy talks to Emily about his new book, Royal Books and Holy Bones. Cardinal Vincent Nichols visited the Jesuit Refugee Service this week, who are calling for the government to change they way they deal with asylum seekers. Trevor Barnes reports. Amanda Speilman, Chief Inspector of OFSTED gave a speech this week warning of an "expanding sense of religious entitlement" by parents putting pressure on head teachers to change school policy to suit their needs. Emily Buchanan speaks to her about the role she see's for religion in schools. Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon has been appointed the PM's first Special Envoy on Religious Freedom. He tells Emily why his new role is needed and what he hopes to achieve. Producers: Rajeev Gupta Carmel Lonergan Series Producer: Amanda Hancox Photo credit :Fully Alive Ltd.

W. Norton) in November 2016.

With more than 300 illustrations, which have been meticulously color corrected for this new book, the authors shed light on some of the finest but least-known paintings from the Middle Ages and on the development of art, literature, and civilization as we know it. Dr. Scot McKendrick is the head of Western Heritage Collections at the British Library. His publications include Codex Sinaiticus: New Perspective on the Ancient Biblical Manuscript; Illuminating the Renaissance: The Triumph of Flemish Manuscript Painting in Europe; and The Bible as Book: Transmissions of the Greek Text.
