Dieudonne's A Panorama of Pure Mathematics serves as a nice, brisk overview of the state of pure mathematics at its time, but it would be nice if there were an updated version of this book.

Is there a more recent book with a similar style and scope to Dieudonne's book?

Thanks, in advance.

BTW: I tagged this as "math history", but would prefer it to be tagged as "math overview"...

Try The Princeton Companion to Mathematics.

    @AsinglePANCAKE: I think it is a worthwhile investment as long as you plan on _eventually_ getting a feel for most of the content. As you progress mathematically you'll keep getting more out of it.2012-11-02
