Going through Chapter 4, the merge operation is described.  The book explains to preserve the attributes of the polygon representing zone 2.  There is a picture showcasing the tool inputs with Zone 2 clearly shown as the item being preserved.  The following picture showcasing the result of the merge shows zone 6, and not 2.  The sentence says "Notice the new larger polygon has kept the zone value of 6".  

I am frustrated that I am finding errors like this in the chapters.  I made my students purchase this book!

Looks like a typo error (in the new edition) trying to bring some changes from the previous edition. Please guide your students accordingly.

With reference from GTK ArcGIS Pro 2.3 (2nd edition), it was zone 6 that was preserved, and following steps and screenshots are correct.
