5. Adventure in Prolog by Dennis Merritt
A Prolog tutorial that uses the very first interactive computer games to teach the expressive power of Prolog.
This book is aimed at the programmer who wishes to learn the advantages of programming in Prolog. It takes a pragmatic, rather than theoretical, approach to the language and is designed for programmers interested in adding this powerful language to their bag of tools.

6. Building Expert Systems in Prolog by Dennis Merritt
Dennis Merritt explains the basic principles, as well as the specialized knowledge representation and processing techniques that are indispensable for the implementation of industrial software.
The book is useful for the professional developer of industrial knowledge-based applications, as well as for the student or programmer interested in learning about or building expert systems.

7. Natural Language Processing Techniques in Prolog by Patrick Blackburn and Kristina Striegnitz
This book introduces the subject through the discussion and development of various computer programs which illustrate some of the basic concepts and techniques in the field.
The programming language used is Prolog, which is especially well-suited for Natural Language Processing and those with little or no background in computing.
Following the general introduction, the first section of the book presents Prolog, and the following chapters illustrate how various Natural Language Processing programs may be written using this programming language.
8. The Power of Prolog by Markus Triska
The goal of this material is to bridge the gap between the great traditional Prolog textbooks of the past and the language as it currently is, several decades after these books were written.
You will see that many limitations of the past are no longer relevant, while several new constructs are now of great importance even though they are not yet covered in any available Prolog book.
