1st Edition of this book was excellent. Gives a solid explanation of both data mining/ml techniques and the trade-offs of choosing them.
The update to the chapter of classification was needed. Previously, the section on SVM and ANN was a subpart of a chapter, spanning no more than 10 pages, glad they added more detail there.
They also spend time in early chapters talking about preprocessing and cleaning data, something that often is glossed over.
