Yes, sections in a nonfiction book are frequently separated with white space
and no other indication. A series of asterisks in a print nonfiction book
might be rarer, but nonfiction is just as subject to the same rules of
punctuation as fiction.

"The time to speak the truth has come.... The government of the United
States cannot be on the side of peasants because it is an ally of the
landowners. It cannot be on the side of workers anywhere in the world
because it is an ally of the monopolies. It cannot be on the side of
colonies because it is an ally of the colonizing powers." - Fidel Castro
