Is this new news or old news?

The book

Available for Rs. 1458 or $23.52 at BOOKadda.

Unavailable at Amazon UK.

No reviews nor quick peek inside to provide more information about the book, but the summary sounds familiar.

Is it a cobbling together of the Wiki articles (“High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles!”)?

The authors are not predominately Health Information Technology writers, as shown here.

It’s a “fake”
This title by the same authors:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Walter-Lectures-Physics-Ronald-Russell/dp/B007MWVY4K/ref=sr_1_19?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1387638036&sr=1-19&keywords=Ronald+Cohn+Jesse+Russell+physics
was denounced by MIT Professor Walter Lewin/Youtube celebrity himself as an attempt to cash in on his name.

The reason the book summary rings a bell is because it had been lifted verbatim from the Features webpage.

According to the EBay listing, it was published in 2012 and “Certain data records © 2013 Bowker”(copyright?).

Cut & paste, yes.

Plagiarism, yes; but perhaps not illegal.
