I am in the beginning stages of writing a book. A non-fiction book.

The very first chapter, I will be discussing my main topic and I need to define what the topic means. In order to do this, I wanted to use say, websters dictionary, or another source such as this and copy, ver batim, their definition of the word.

Would I have to credit them, in a book, for this definition, and if so, how would I write that out? For an example, webster defines the word DOG as:

1. a domesticated canid, Canis familiaris, bred in many varieties.
2. any carnivore of the dogfamily Canidae, having prominent canine teeth and, in the wild state, a long and slender muzzle, a deep-chested muscular body, a bushy tail, and large, erect ears. Compare canid.

and so on.

Now if my book were on dogs and I wanted to use this, for example to say Dogs are ... and then give the definition, how would I write it? Would I put quotes around the entire definition and then at the end put -Websters Dictionary

Like say a child out of the blue starts harassing other children in a very inappropriate way.

Isn't that a red flag that that child has been abused especially sexually?

But oh no teachers don't realize that.

I go to school at a major university. I live in a 3 bdrm apt with my fiance, with whom I have a 2 year old with. I'm going to school to be a school teacher, but I can't BREATHE! I'm suffocating and just simply overwhelmed. My fiance consistantly calls me lazy despite the fact that I work, go to school on Tues and Thurs from 8am - 4pm (thats five classes back to back NO BREAK inbetween any of them) , and take care of our two year old son. Instead of coloring and playing with my son, my fiance would rather me clean house and have a meal prepared by the time he gets home (ranging anywhere from 4:30pm to 7pm - depending on what time he gets home). He's honestly a good man, but I'm hurt by his words and his lack of understanding. I need perspective and I need to know what I can do to cope with the tsunami of work that is drowning me.

I know teachers have an extremely high workload with little payoff and I'm afraid I'm not up for the job, though I love the profession.
