  If you're interested in python, my wife says good things about "Python for Data Analysis." Supposedly quite readable and practical. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920023784.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920023784.do

  You might want to check their Data Science Starter Kit collection http://shop.oreilly.com/category/get/data-science-kit.do http://shop.oreilly.com/category/get/data-science-kit.do Thinking With Data's a great introduction too. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920029182.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920029182.do

    Highly recommend "Doing Data Science" (it's on list provided in the link above). The guest-lecture style chapters keep the material interesting (the author based this book on a class she taught at Columbia University) and as someone who was reading this part-time (alone), I enjoyed working on the exercises that are listed in the later chapters.
