How to find all rational points on the elliptic curves like $y^2=x^3-2$
Given your interest in Mordell's equation, you really ought to buy or borrow Diophantine Equations by Mordell, then the second edition of A Course in Number Theory by H. E. Rose, see AMAZON
Rose discusses the equation starting on page 286, then gives a table of $k$ with $ -50 \leq k \leq 50$ for which there are integral solutions, a second table for which there are rational solutions. The tables are copied from J. W. S. Cassels, The rational solutions of the diophantine equation $y^2 = x^3 - D.$ Acta Arithmetica, volume 82 (1950) pages 243-273.
Other than that, you are going to need to study Silverman and Tate far more carefully than you have done so far. From what I can see, all necessary machinery is present. Still, check the four pages in the Bibliography, maybe you will prefer something else.
