		Since the geometry of the top of the weir is known, and all water flows over the weir, the height of water flowing over the weir will be an indication of the flow.
		After leaving the CFU Weir made the short feature ''Homesdale'' (1971), a fl comedy which co-starred actress Kate Fitzpatrick and musician and comedian Grahame Bond, who later became famous as the star of ''The Aunty Jack Show''; Weir also played a small role, but this was his only significant screen appearance.
		Alison Weir the historian is not to be confused with Alison Weir the American political activist.

	Henry VIII: King and Court Book at Shop Ireland
		Weir must have undertaken to write this book, and that for those studying the minutiae of Henrician court-life this book is a must.
		Weir provides astute, well-researched snapshots of Henry's entire coterie, from his playmates and companions, through to his mistresses and their families, his advisors, chancellors and churchmen.
		Alison's achievement in writing this book is quite remarkable and it's also very pleasing to see a detailed listing of her many references.

	USS Liberty Was Attacked by Israel
		Weir pointed out that coverage of violence in the current Palestinian intifada in which Israeli forces killed over 140 Palestinians before the first Jewish citizen was killed was underreported.
		Weir and others are currently involved in an effort to get a Congressional hearing on the events surrounding the Liberty.
		Weir strongly believes that once Americans know the facts, they will act in the best interest of their country.

	BOOKS: CHILDREN OF ENGLAND: The Heirs of King Henry VIII, by Alison Weir - 18 December 1999
		Weir consistently argues that the burning of approximately 300 heretics made Mary unpopular with her subjects.
		But, as Weir points out, England was not used to the numbers of people being burnt at the stake for their religious beliefs, citing the figures of such executions during the reigns of other Tudor monarchs: 10 in the 24 years of Henry VII and 81 in the 38 years of Henry VIII's reign.
		Weir suggests that the English were relieved to hear of Mary's demise and Elizabeth's succession.

	Amazon.com: The Six Wives of Henry VIII: Books: Alison Weir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Weir's research abilities and deductive reasoning have shed a whole new light on the political maneuverings of the era and thus on the myriad forces that drove Henry VIII, his wives, and his children.
		Weir takes us through the entire lives of these women, from their childhood and time before marrying the king, through the ends of their lives (which, in the cases of Anne of Cleves and Katherine Parr, extended beyond the King's own death).
		Weir's text is written in such a way that it can be understood by someone who is a beginner in Tudor history, thus making it very accessible in a way that other writers sometimes are not.

	Review of Alison Weir's "Sacrificial Logics"
		While Weir does not dispute the fact that actual self developments in history often assume the costly logic of sacrifice, she wants to point out that selves may also emerge in networks of mutual sociality where sacrifice of one self to another is not ontologically necessary.
		Weir fears that de Beauvoir's emphasis on the Hegelian confrontation with "the other" may block the logic of breakthrough recognition, where mutuality is called forth.
		Weir's book thus serves as a worthy tribute to de Beauvoir's feminism and its studied ambiguity, which refuses for once to choose between the universal and particular, reason and passion, being and nothingness, existence and freedom, and which conscientiously refuses to resolve the antinomies of liberation in advance of its living subjects.

	Eleanor of Aquitaine by Alison Weir, 0712673172, Lowest Book Price Finder
		Combining the pace and descriptive quality of a novel with the authority of a text book, Alison Weir's study of the revered and reviled Eleanor of Aquitaine should be valuable to anyone with an interest in medieval European history.
		Yet again, Alison Weir has managed, through intensive research to bring a long dead queen to life and remind everyone of what she endured for her much beloved husband.
		Though Allison Weir avoids over romanticizing the story by passing along legends as facts (that Eleanor murdered her husband's mistress or the many tales surrounding her Court of Love), she still weaves a fascinating tale.

	Elizabeth by Alison Weir, 0712673121, Lowest Book Price Finder
		Alison Weir's new biography covers the facts well enough, but she understands Elizabeth's situation imaginatively, and that is what makes her book special.
		Particularly enjoyable is the way Weir produces historical evidence : she provides several contemporary accounts on an issue, explains why one account seems to be more reliable that the other - and in the process, never does the record get tedious or scholarly, which in itself is a feat.
		Alison Weir has made this Tudor monarch come alive for me as no other author has (so far) She has shaken the dust from history for me, and it has made me want to read more of her books.

	Mary, Queen of Scots and the Murder of Lord Darnley - Alison Weir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Weir also poses a theory which she never quite develops: that Darnley may have been gay.
		Weir's evidence is circumstantial: that he slept in the same bed as court advisor Rizzio, and also that Darnley was somewhat effeminate in appearance.
		However, Weir documented her sources well and for the most part is able to back up her claims- which is of course what matters, from a historian's point of view.

		Weir brought shame to the journalist's trade that night as she regaled her sorrowful journey through "Palestine," witnessing the racist treatment and brutal occupation of the innocent, loving Palestinians by the Israel Defense Force.
		Weir suddenly decided to cut short the history lesson "for lack of time" and skip ahead to the current Israeli barbarism in "Palestine." However, she neglected many important facts because of this shortcut.
		Weir makes a living off of the University lecture circuit "gravy train", although bashing Israel is clearly a labor of love for her.

	The Life of Elizabeth I - Alison Weir
		Weir emphasizes Elizabeth's precarious position as a ruling woman in a man's world, suggesting plausibly that the single life was personally appealing as well as politically expedient for someone who had seen many ambitious ladies--including her own mother--ruined and even executed for just the appearance of sexual indiscretions.
		Weir does a fine job of retelling this always-popular story for a new generation.
		Comment: Historian Alison Weir presents an extremely sensible, not sensational, biography of the great Queen Elizabeth I. It is an excellent work, worthy of the many other great bios she has authored.

		Alison Weir's "Mary Queen of Scots and the Murder of Lord Darnley" is not the best of her popular histories, but it is still a well-written, copiously researched piece that despite its length goes along at a brisk pace.

		In typical Jew-bashing leftist manner, Weir ignores the fact that the Jews in question were murdered in cold blood, while the Palestinians killed were either terrorists or civilians caught in the crossfire when Palestinian terrorists opened fire from amongst civilians.
