One of the authors (Mohri) teaches a course called Foundation of Machine learning. Details are here[1] and may give an indication of the books' contents.

#4I haven't seen this book before but I did take Prof. Mohri's class a few years ago. His material is great but be warned that is's biased heavily towards theory (proofs and bounds instead of the more common/practical "rules of thumb"). You can get a lot done using machine learning tools having only a superficial familiarity with VC dimension, complexity bounds, etc... If however, you want to get deeper insight into the algorithms you're using or develop new algorithms yourself then Prof Mohri's of rigor is very useful.

#5My favorite introductory textbook on machine learning is the Tom Mitchell book: http://www.amazon.com/Machine-Learning-Tom-M-Mitchell/dp/007...
The Bishop book is the most popular though: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0387310738/ref=pd_rvi_gw_2/...

#6Aside: I find it ridiculous that I can't read a blog post, a little bit of text and an image, without enabling javascript on two domains. I know that a bunch of you will think only masochists use NoScript, but the page is slow to appear and needlessly complicated. If there's anyone at Google who could help your company set a better example, please nudge the right people.

Completely agreed. I think it's fine to expect now that it wont render pretty, some divs may be in the wrong place... but shit should load.

The Elements of Statistical Learning, by T. Hastie, R. Tibshirani and J. Friedman [1] is also a very good one. Plus, the book is freely available on the authors' website.
