This entry reads like a PR piece---totally unlike an encyclopedia entry.

It is also absurdly long.

“His two other books”

I don't have time to look for authoritative references right now, but a quick Amazon search says “The Small BIG” was written by one Steve Martin. It's also not referenced elsewhere in this page. I think that was meant to be “Influence: Science and Practice” instead. Copy-paste error perhaps?
