There is also Joel Grus “Data Science from Scratch2 (also Python). Both are based on the concept of using Python to aid in understanding (as opposed to just being an engineering type guide to “getting the job done in Python” ). There are more detailed explanations of relative merits of each on Amazon.

I just wanted to point out that the second and third “Buy Now” Amazon buttons do not redirect to the correct books page…

I would recommend to take the machine leaning courses that I took, because it covered almost everything that I wanted. http://www.thedevmasters.com/machine-learning-in-python/

I agree that Mitchell’s book is more accessible than the work of Bishop or Duda, but I would still recommend these to deepen your knowledge and understanding of what is introduced in Mitchell’s book.

Start with scikit-learn (http://scikit-learn.org/stable/tutorial/) and then add Pandas (http://pandas.pydata.org/) to your list.
To really understand the fundamental concepts of the most important machine learning algorithms however, I would still recommend reading a book that focusses solely on machine learning.
The programming language you choose to implement your ideas is merely a semantic detail, and learning such language is easy compared with learning about data science and pattern recognition.
