The field really needs a new, thorough textbook suitable for a one year course, or maybe an up to date one semester intro text and an up to date one semester textbook on modern cryptanalysis.
Let me humbly suggest my own book: "Introduction to Modern Cryptography", co-authored with Y. Lindell. You may find it a bit theoretical for your taste, but it was written exactly to address the need for an introductory text covering modern cryptography. (And it covers some basic cryptanalysis as well.) See
