You want one book to cover both tactics and endgames?

I think Silman's Endgame course is very good.  I borrowed it from my local library and it seems to cover all the essential stuff you need for every rating level up to expert/master.  It's well written and pretty easy to follow too.

I am really enjoying "Predator at the Chessboard". It is free at chesstactics dot org. If you like it there (as I did) you can suport the author and pick up a hard copy. It is split into 2 books ~20 bucks a piece. They are nice hardcover quality printing.

Excellent endgame book: Endgame Strategy by Shereshevsky. Jacob Aagaard's Grandmaster Preparation book on calculation is extremely difficult but quite good
