Who wrote it: The World We Live In is by the Editorial Staff of LIFE and Lincoln Barnett, with the text adapted for young readers by Jane Werner Watson. It was published by Golden Press as a De Luxe Golden Book, copyright 1956, and this copy is the ninth printing from 1961.

What it’s about: This edition adapts LIFE’s celebrated natural history series for young readers, moving from the birth of the earth through the sea, the air, the age of mammals, the desert, the Arctic, the rain forest, and out to the stars. 

Special features: The book is filled with richly detailed full-color paintings and photographs, including a fold-out page that opens into a wide desert panorama in “The Land of the Sun.” 

Condition: Pictorial hardcover with edge and corner wear, surface scuffing, and wear to the spine ends. The previous owner’s name and address are written on the front endpaper. Please review all photos carefully, and email me with any questions.

Thanks so much for visiting,
❤️ Jess
