The title says Brief Edition, but the book still weighs in at over 750 pages. Not so brief. Calculus is calculus. However, the book is replete with examples drawn from business, economics and the social sciences. Meant to motivate readers majoring in those fields, and who have found that they need to learn calculus.
The examples are good for that reason. Motivation and relevance are key to learning calculus. Especially if many readers might not have garnered any especial aptitude for maths during their earlier schooling. Lest some of you get offended, let me point out that students who are strong in maths during primary and high school often tilt towards majoring in maths, the physical sciences or engineering in university. For them, motivation in learning maths was rarely a problem. But for others, a book like this can be useful.
