From Logic Programming to Prolog is a unique publication that provides an introduction to the theory of logic programming, and its application to Prolog programs. While logic programming and Prolog are closely related, other texts have always treated them separately. Books on logic programming have focused on the theoretical foundations of the subject, whilst Prolog texts have always concentrated on language features and programming techniques.
