Dear colleagues. 

My lecture notes "The Shallow and the Deep -
A biased introduction to neural networks and
old school machine learning" have been published 

by University of Groningen Press: 

The book is available as open access e-pub (pdf) and non-profit

print-on-demand  (softcover) from various sources, 

see https://www.cs.rug.nl/~biehl/mpubl.html for some links. 

Best wishes,

Michael
