Hi everyone. I am looking for just one or maybe two books that cover the following topics:

-positional chess

-calculation

-sacrifices

-basic checkmates

-analyzing your own games

 

If you know of any titles, please post them. Thank you!

Chess Fundamentals by J.R. Capablanca covers 1-4 of your topics. I strongly suggest it since it is a very good book.Smile About the fifth topic this book also somewhat instills to the reader how he should analyze positions. Other good books are My System by Aron Nimzowitch and Chess Manual by Emmanuel Lasker.
