Does anyone know if the table of contents is somewhere online?
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. [1] http://www.cs.nyu.edu/~mohri/ml10/

It's the last class he taught before the book was published. I was in the class, and can confirm the lecture outline closely matches the book's contents.
