I've been lurking because your discussions are stimulating, but I've 
reached the point that I need to learn the subject. 

Which book would you recommend?  Preferably something light weight, as I 
have to pay for it to be shipped to Israel, where I live.  The book 
doesn't have to include the texts of the cases, as I can download those, 
but it does have to lay out what the important cases are.  I haven't 
studied the subject since law school, which was 40 years ago.
