On the one hand, the fourth edition includes an introduction to deep learning that's as up-to-date as it's possible for a printed book to be. On the other, it's placed late in the book, and many people these days would skip straight to the neural nets. Up to you. I think it's valuable for condensing an incredible amount of stuff in an accessible unified introductory way.

If your goal is to understand ML in particular, then there are a bunch of other more applicable books (Deep Learning, Learning From Data, probably a bunch of more recent ones that I don't know because I haven't kept up super recently)
