Mathematics for the Nonmathematician, disgustingly eurocentric but still good, Concepts of Modern Mathematics gives an overview of some higher maths, and I have the set The World of Mathematics which I occasionally read a random chapter, it covers lots of ground.
The BEST way to study history of math is to read classic math texts from history such as the Elements, the Conics, the Principia, etc.
Original texts aside, I recommend The World of Mathematics by James Newman.
I also recommend Newton's Principia: The Central Argument by Densmore.
