My thoughts exactly

Looking at Asynchronous Programming Features and Models in .NET Framework 4.0 & 4.5 which is an older one but if I compare it to Async in C# 5.0: Unleash the Power of Async - Alex Davies - Google-books published in 2012

In chapter "What is async and await"
Article: The feature makes asynchronous programming a lot easier by eliminating the need for complex patterns that were necessary in previous versions of C#. With it, we can reasonably write entire programs in an asynchronous style.

Book: The feature makes asynchronous programming a lot easier by eliminating the need for complex patterns that were necessary in previous versions of C#. With it, we can reasonably write entire programs in an asynchronous style.
Article: I said already that asynchronous programming has always been possible in C#, but it involved a lot of manual work from the programmer.

Book: Asynchronous programming has always been possible in C#, but it involved a lot of manual work from the programmer.

Then if I search for the following paragraph from the article
Thread pools are often employed in server applications. Each incoming request is assigned to a thread from the thread pool, so that the request can be processed asynchronously, without tying up the primary thread or delaying the processing of subsequent requests
I get numerous exact hits, many of them dated before the article.

So based on this, I suspect that a lot of the texts have been copied from elsewhere (possibly tweaked a bit).
