Wikipedia en inglés (15)This book is a concise narrative of Byzantine history from the time of Constantine the Great (AD 306) to the fall of Constantinople in 1453.

Integrates visual documents, such as photographs of art, architecture, and implements from daily life. Makes the latest scholarship accessible to a wide audience.

Full Disclosure: I'm going to be Dr. Gregory's graduate student in the fall (but I haven't studied with him at the time of writing this review!);I suppose you should keep this in mind when reading this review :)
P.S.: Be sure to get the updated second edition of this book rather than the first. Several elements have been upgraded, and it is well worth the extra money. ( )
