Positional play

Chess books about pawn structures, pawn play, and positional patterns. Probably the most neglected area of study for many improving players.

The distinction between strategy and positional play may be slightly uncommon: strategy refers to piece plan, planning, and long-term thinking, while positional play mostly refers to pawn structures and pawn play. In other places, and in many books, those two are intertwined and often there’s no difference between them.
