Note that this is a book for the more math-inclined, one will have trouble if not familiar with the basics of multivariate analysis/linear algebra.

Seems like a good book - bit surprised that it doesn't seem to cover Genetic Algorithms.

Genetic Algorithms are rarely covered in (recent) Machine Learning books. They are more often considered as optimization algorithms.
