Model-Based Machine Learning Book
As someone who has read pretty much every single applied ML and theoretical ML book out there, I'm extremely excited about this.The theoretical books tend to go over a laundry list of techniques without much clear motivation. The applied books often just take a single technique and write the code for it.This book, on the other hand, is teaching you how to think like a statistician to solve some nontrivial analytical problems. Not many new books even cover this skillset, so you'll most likely be learning a lot of net new things.
