y2, did you really work through the whole How to R YC? If yes, you should have already a good understanding about isolated pawns, at least enough for your level.

The suggestions from DeirdreSkye and kindaspongey are excellent. Any of those books will help you a lot. I would add one more: “Understanding Pawn Play in Chess” by Drazen Marović. The chapter on isolated pawns contains about 25 complete games that are well selected, organized and annotated for learning the subject.
Sokolov’s book is, I believe, out of print but the second edition is coming out in January 2018.

It is really weird that you consider Reaccess your chess enough to understand isolated pawn.Silman doesn't even scratch the surface.Instead of giving advises maybe you must find a good book and try to understand it yourself.
Not sure about this, or let's say. From which edition your are talking about? The fourth edition has a chapter on the topic called "Weak Pawns: The Sound or Ripe Fruit Falling", the first chapter of Part Five. It would be really weird that such a book would not deal with such an important topic.
Although I have the third edition since long, I did not work enough with the book (not as I should, let's say). But I know that there is a chapter dedicated to this topic: Part Seven, Chapter Two (The isolated pawn), from p. 167 on.
This topic was of course also treated in the whole book were where isolated pawns appeared on the board, for example the game Petrosian-Peters 1976, p. 248, chapter 1 of part 10. Black has weak pawns on a6, b7 and d4, d4 is isolated.
So, taking into consideration the level of OP's game, I would guess that going carefully through HRYC would be a good start in this topic, or not? I think that a whole book on isolated pawns would be probably great for a 1800 plus player, but we patzers have a lot more to learn about the game than to get so deep in one single subject. But yeah, its only my opinion.

Youre dropping pieces, and missing simple tactics. Why are you concentrating on isloated pawns, when you should be working on the basics?

I try :-)
I dont know why beginners, and low rated players always want to try and sound way better than they are, or spend there time studying things that are way above there skill level.

Okay, first, somebody is interested in learning strategy related to isolated pawns. Perhaps OP had such a situation in one or two of his games, so he is interested to learn about it. This is good!
Second, he has HTRYC. It is a good book to check for this topic. It is perhaps a little bit high for his level, but I cannot imagine how going through this book would harm his game.
Tactics, yes, this is important, but the same apply to endgame, opening and strategy. I am happy to see somebody who is interested in a topic which is usually only regarded as important for stronger players. Buy the way, we have a group studying y2no, a funny group of weak players trying their best to get through this book. If you want, y2no, you can join us, send me message.
In lieu of critiquing his play and telling him what I think he should be doing, I think the OP would find it more helpful to receive an answer to his question......thus....

I think someone once proposed to study kindaspongey, but, as far as I can tell, the idea did not get off the ground.
