25 pages of an entire book, for the purpose of academic presentation?
I believe that comes under the '10% for Fair Use' provisions of 
the international Copyright treaties.

Note: the ten percent figure is coming from my memory of the signs
above library photocopiers, in Australia. Have whoever's doing legal
stuff here get the exact USA figures - but it sounds like a clear 
case of Fair Use to me. The only problem is which law overrides - 
international Copyright treaties & the laws that support those, or 
the DCMA.
