Gerald Lang was born and raised in London, and pursued his studies in Bristol and then Oxford. He has held posts at Reading, Oxford, and Leeds, where he now works as Associate Professor of Philosophy. He has very broad interests in moral and political philosophy. He is now working on a project on self-defence, deontology, and war.

It is an engaging book with a neatly organized argumentative structure. More worthy of note, though, is the book's effort to bring together a defense of moral luck and a critique of antiluckist theories of distributive justice. It is an inspired idea-the kind of idea that makes you wonder why more people haven't tried this before.
