There may even be a legal requirement to do so (or at least to stop publishing it). I’m not a legal expert, but this type of plagarism isn’t exactly in line with copyright law. This is obviously assuming there is no exception for the original text — which seems unusual, as there is no reason to ask authors for the rights to verbosely copy their text into new works. Looking at the ACM copyright statement I signed recently, that’s not the usual case.
In addition, at least by European law, the ownership rights of the original authors may allow them to prevent (further) publication or dissemination (unless permission has been obtained).
Beyond that, of course, it would be at least “the right thing to do” for the editor of the book series (which, by the way, is called “Methods in Molecular Biology” — this may be a case of republication to a completely new audience, which is acceptable at least in some circles). The link you provided specifies Bernd Mayer as the editor for this particular edition.
On a side-note, the link under ‘chapter’ is broken (you seem to have put the title of the article as URL). Here is the link to the official springer chapter page.
