Free data science books

From http://www.p-value.info/2012/11/free-datascience-books.html

I've been impressed in recent months by the number and quality of free datascience/machine learning books available online. I don't mean free as in some guy paid for a PDF version of an O'Reilly book and then posted it online for others to use/steal, but I mean genuine published books with a free online version sanctioned by the publisher. That is, "the publisher has graciously agreed to allow a full, free version of my book to be available on this site." 
Here are a few in my collection:
While we are on the subject, I would be remiss of me not to recommend D.J. Patil's free minibooks/essays. While they are not the thick comprehensive tomes of those above, they are definitely worth the time to read.  Finally, this is work in progress (just 3 chapters to date) but is one to watch: Network Science by A.-L. Barabasi.
