I reviewed a book for the Technometrics journal that was just published. The book was called The Essentials of Data Science - Knowledge Discovery Using R by Graham J. Williams (CRC Press, 2017). It is actually a companion to another book called Data Mining with Rattle and R by Graham Williams (Springer, 2011). Great introductions to data science methods including deep neural networks.
