Does anyone have an opinion of this book? Have you studied from it? Does it cover anything even fairly in depth or is it's purpose mainly for a general overview of concepts?

it seems to contain a lot of history, and attempts to give the idea behind a lot of different ideas in mathematics. to a mathematician like me it is rather wordy and tedious.
