Calculation is the most important skill for every chess player to develop. Most chess books make you calculate at some point, but those in this category focus on the process of solving tactical problems over the board and improving the way you calculate.
Books on tactics include those that talk about how to calculate rather than focusing on problem solving. Those in the puzzles and studies section are devoted purely to problems and collections of puzzles.
