There was a news story a while ago about a Citadel cadet who was expelled for taking information from the internet without documentation for a paper he wrote. I think any time you incorporate information from another source it should be noted. Using the words or ideas of someone else without proper credit or permission is just like stealing.
We have had a topic posted regarding the book before, but not on this specific topic. I haven't read the book, so I don't want to critisize the author. However, I would hope he got permission to insert that word for word information in his book.
