Hi! I was wondering if these old books from the 60's were still worth reading the information in them seem true and correct but anything in the science world documented may be outdated eventually, especially somthing that's 60 years old. I picked up this one in a set with others titled things like "the poles" "the ocean" and "the forest". I'm trying to go to college for biology and botany which is why I picked these up at a garage sale, and which is also why I want to know if they're really worth reading. Also if they aren't worth reading I could use some suggestions for books to help me get into the field that are composed like this.

Personally I would take the information from books this old with a grain of salt.
That being said, books like these offer fantastic examples of the information people were working with back then! Since we’re still combatting some of the misconceptions from that time, as well as outdated attitudes based on that information, it gives us an insight into the rational of some older folks in the industry ☺️
