The book focuses squarely on the people of the Byzantine Empire, their views of themselves and their culture, and how these changed over time. The result is a remarkably clear view of who the Byzantines were, and the book will contribute significantly to a restoration of Byzantium to its rightful place at the center of the historical tradition of Europe.\"\u003cbr\u003e –\u003cb\u003eTimothy Gregory\u003c\/b\u003e, Ohio State University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003eAveril Cameron (Author)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e9780631202622, Wiley\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eHardback, published 22 December 2006\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e296 pages\u003cbr\u003e23.6 x 16 x 2.3 cm, 0.572 kg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"\u003c\/i\u003eThe B.yzantines is a welcome addition to the renewal of Byzantine Studies in contemporary academia.\" (\u003ci\u003eCanadian Journal of History\u003c\/i\u003e, winter 2009)  \u003cp\u003e\"Seeks consistently to place Byzantium in Context and to make the reader question fundamental preconceptions about the Byzantine empire.\" (\u003ci\u003eAnglo-Hellenic Review\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner of the 2006 John D.
