It has much more than MCMC, but the "Probabilistic Graphical Models" textbook by Daphne Koller (of Coursera) and Nir Friedman is a thorough introduction to the subject. It includes a discussion of MCMC that will leave you with a deeper understanding than the typical shallow treatment.

but it will drop you right into the fray without much context.



Thank you, this looks exactly like the book I need.
