I thought it was a fluke when he used a definition of a process from Wikipedia, but not one page later an entire three paragraphs was taken directly from Wikipedia according to the author, but without any actual online citation reference (link, date accessed, etc.).This alone warrants the one star. Wikipedia is not reliable source material.
