Thorough Sharepoint 2010 development books (no previous MOSS 2007 knowledge)

Question

I'm looking for a developer's book that would be quite in-depth and works from the basics to advanced stuff without requiring previous knowledge of MOSS 2007.

I would like the book to explain basics of the Sharepoint development framework and class library and then go off with all kinds of common development practices in Sharepoint. Including advanced stuff like integrating WCF services (including RIA services for Silverlight support) etc.
