  I have many Prolog books and by far the most practical or "real world" of them is "Prolog Programming in Depth" by Covington/Nute/Vellino, which the lead author has made freely available as a PDF: http://www.covingtoninnovations.com/books/PPID.pdf It doesn't shy away from explicitly discussing how one goes about…

  Prolog is a pretty neat language. It feels really strange at first, but as you grow used to its weirdness, it becomes much more enjoyable. I learned Prolog in university using the book "Prolog Programming in Depth", by Michael A. Covington, Donald Nute, and André Vellino. Frankly, I didn't use the book all that much. It was a handy reference now and then, but it wasn't essential. Perhaps there's some good tutorials…
