There are a few add-on packages for resampling with R.  "boot" is the 
one I've used, and can strongly recommend.

I've never heard of the book you cite, but these two are good.  The 
first is a pure bootstrap book, with examples in S-PLUS (the R library 
is rather close).  The second is an applied stats book, which includes a 
section on resampling methods.  All its examples are in S-PLUS, with 
notes about where R differs (very little).
