Good learning material...

I came across this text the other day (http://www.amazon.com/Critical-Transport-American-Orthopaedic-Surgeons/dp/1449642586) and was curious to know if anyone out there has used this book for personal education or if you have any other recommended texts?

Just got hired on by one of the squad companies doing MICU and am wanting to educate myself more for this new adventure. As transport is a new area for me, I am wanting to provide the best care I can and continue to expand my personal knowledge to better my care in the ED, too. Also, if you have any tips or tricks to share, please pass along to this newbie! Any help is greatly appreciated!
