I have been relying on Zienkiewicz texts to really get a solid understanding of FEM and work towards my aspirational use it for analyzing biological structures. However, those resources don't touch the numerical topics like Schur's compliment, preconditioners etc....

Is there a good textbook that consolidates these ideas or am I at the point, I just need to sift through journal articles? I am trying to apply some of the techniques utilized in the tutorials on different problems but the leap is too big at the moment.

I would start with Elman, Silvester, Wathen: "Finite elements and fast iterative solvers". The canonical book on iterative solvers is the one by Saad, but it only has a few pages about block methods.

Best
 W.
