Charles F. Levinthal is a distinguished professor emeritus at Hofstra University. During his more than 40-year tenure on the Hofstra faculty, he chaired the Department of Psychology for nine years as well as assuming other leadership roles in the department and university. While teaching dozens of courses in neuropsychology and cognitive psychology for both undergraduate and professional graduate students, he conducted research in the fields of cognitive neuropsychology and decision-making. His academic honors include the Hofstra University Distinguished Faculty Lecture Award in 1987 for his research on the history of opium and the Distinguished Teacher of the Year Award as voted by the graduating Hofstra Class of 2003. He was elected as a fellow of the American Psychological Association in 2010.

Levinthal has authored 19 books: Messengers of Paradise: Opiates and the Brain (1988) with Spanish and Japanese translations in 1989 and 1991, respectively; three editions of Introduction to Physiological Psychology (1979, 1983, 1990); Point-Counterpoint: Opposing Perspectives on Issues of Drug Policy (2003); nine editions of Drugs, Behavior, and Modern Society (1996, 1999, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2019) with a Korean translation in 2008; and five editions of Drugs, Society, and Criminal Justice (2006, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2019). Levinthal served on the Core Curriculum Planning Committee during the formation of the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra University and lectures extensively on topics ranging from the history of drugs to message-framing factors in decision-making. His writing reflects the philosophy that a textbook is ultimately successful when it is both engaging and educational. One of the best compliments Levinthal received was a review by a student who remarked that his textbook was the first one he had actually enjoyed reading.

Lori Brusman Lovins is an assistant professor at the University of Houston Downtown, Department of Criminal Justice and Social Work. She received her PhD in criminal justice in 2012 from the University of Cincinnati. Her research interests include evidence-based correctional programming, program implementation, and how the criminal justice system treats specialized populations, such as juveniles, females, sex offenders, substance abusing offenders, and offenders with mental illness. Prior to her current academic position, she was the director of clinical services for the Harris County Community Supervision and Corrections Department, and a research associate for the University of Cincinnati, where she oversaw several state-wide research and program implementation projects. She is passionate about bridging the gap between research and practice by bringing academic knowledge to criminal justice professionals and teaching practical skills to students entering the field of criminal justice.

查爾斯·F·萊文塔爾（Charles F. Levinthal）是霍夫斯特拉大學（Hofstra University）榮譽教授。在他超過40年的霍夫斯特拉教職生涯中，他擔任心理學系主任九年，並在系所及大學中擔任其他領導職位。在教授數十門神經心理學和認知心理學的本科及專業研究生課程的同時，他在認知神經心理學和決策制定領域進行研究。他的學術榮譽包括1987年因研究鴉片歷史而獲得的霍夫斯特拉大學傑出教學獎，以及2003年霍夫斯特拉畢業班投票選出的傑出教師獎。他於2010年被選為美國心理學會（American Psychological Association）會士。

萊文塔爾著有19本書籍：《天堂的使者：鴉片與大腦》（Messengers of Paradise: Opiates and the Brain，1988年），1989年和1991年分別有西班牙文和日文翻譯；《生理心理學導論》（Introduction to Physiological Psychology，1979年、1983年、1990年）三個版本；《對立觀點：藥物政策問題的對立觀點》（Point-Counterpoint: Opposing Perspectives on Issues of Drug Policy，2003年）；《藥物、行為與現代社會》（Drugs, Behavior, and Modern Society，1996年、1999年、2002年、2005年、2008年、2010年、2012年、2014年、2019年）九個版本，並於2008年有韓文翻譯；以及《藥物、社會與刑事司法》（Drugs, Society, and Criminal Justice，2006年、2008年、2012年、2016年、2019年）五個版本。萊文塔爾在霍夫斯特拉大學扎克醫學院成立期間擔任核心課程規劃委員會成員，並廣泛講授從藥物歷史到決策中的信息框架因素等主題。他的著作反映了這樣的哲學：一本教科書在吸引人和具教育意義時才算成功。萊文塔爾收到的最佳讚美之一是來自一位學生的評論，該學生表示他的教科書是他第一次真正享受閱讀的書籍。
