"...you'll test and build your knowledge of Python and learn to handle the kind of open-ended problems that professional data scientists work on daily."

My book on WebGL2 (500+ pages) takes you from understanding the rendering pipeline, WebGL2 API, etc. and progressively walks the reader by building a feature-rich 3D graphics engine in WebGL2 (ES6) that includes cameras, lights, shaders, post processing, OBJ models, etc. with a final project of a 3D virtual car showroom.

I know you specifically asked for books, but I think these are too good to not mention. Ben Eater has a series of Youtube videos that explores how computers work, starting from first principles, and in the process you build an 8 bit computer (or a 6502 computer in a different series). He actually sells kits of the parts to build it yourself, or you can buy the parts yourself. It’s a deep dive into how computers work,…
Do you just follow along with the videos or did you buy the kit as well? That 8-bit computer series looks great.
Over the course of the book you build a photo sharing application from scratch. Each chapter uses new "feature requests" from a fictional manager as a way to introduce and teach new Elm concepts.

Many will probably recognize the author, Charles Petzold [2], from his Windows programming books.
Not quite what you're talking about but the best book on car mechanics I ever read... It was red, and textbook-sized, hardcover. Lots of drawings. It literally started with an explosion in a can, and then progressively enhanced that idea step-by-step: add a lid to the can to capture the energy, add a lever to keep the can lid from flying away, and then attach the lever to a wheel so that it returns the lid to the top…
Boy if you could find the name of that book I'd really appreciate it
