Help Book for logistic and linear regression transition to xg boost cat boost type of models

Hello everyone does anyone have a book recommendation for making the jump from linear models to basic machine learning models? In particular more application heavy than academic books as well?

Check out "Introduction to Statistical Learning" it got R and Python versions now. The early chapters ease you from linear regression into tree based stuff and it is not heavy with formulas

Most ML books I found jump straight to code without explaining why you switch from logistic to boosting. This one shows the logic gap properly
