You may also want to check out Intrusion Detection: An Introduction to Internet Surveillance, Correlation, Trace Back, Traps, and Response by Edward Amoroso. I think it's a good introduction to the topics which covers a bunch of the theory behind this stuff.
I've also looked at Intrusion Dection: Network Security Beyond the Firewall by Terry Escamilla, and it's not bad.
I know I've got another book lying around somewhere, but I can't find it and don't remember who wrote it.
