In this collection of new essays, many of the world's leading political and moral theorists discuss the full range of Rawls's contribution to the concepts of political and economic justice, democracy, liberalism, constitutionalism and international justice.

Another one of my "slow" reads.....Added it as a companion to my ongoing study of Rawls' Theory of Justice.
