Introductory texts in most any field are written by experts; the texts are nonetheless entry level. As far as the text being written over the course of fifty years, well, maybe that's why it's always out-of-date. They keep coming out with new editions, but never seem to actually catch up. Makes you wonder why they bother.
Who wants to climb a "hill," anyway.
