Scott,
you might look the book:
Philip I. Good (1999)
Resampling Methods: A practical guide to data analysis,
Boston: Birkhauser.
there is a web site you can look at,
http://users.oco.net/drphilgood that has descriptions of the book and some
errata (I have found others). In general, I have found it useful, readable,
and the content seems compatible with your interests.
Hope this helps,
Dan Nordlund
