Summary

"Prolog Programming Foundations""Prolog Programming Foundations" provides an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to the principles, techniques, and advanced applications of Prolog, the premier logic programming language. The book begins by illuminating the theoretical foundations of logic programming, connecting predicate calculus and formal logic to Prolog’s unique computational model. Clear explanations of Prolog’s declarative and procedural semantics, unification, and resolution set the stage for mastering both its syntax and powerful problem-solving capabilities.Through carefully structured chapters, the text transitions from core language constructs to advanced data representations, control flow paradigms, and modular program design. Readers are guided through critical topics such as recursive data structures, meta-representation, optimization strategies, and testing, with an emphasis on writing reusable, maintainable, and efficient code. The exploration of metaprogramming techniques, constraint logic programming, and system integration empowers practitioners to extend Prolog’s reach into complex domains and modern software ecosystems.Bridging theory and real-world utility, "Prolog Programming Foundations" showcases the language’s enduring value in artificial intelligence, knowledge engineering, and advanced computational reasoning. Through rich examples and case studies—spanning automated reasoning, natural language processing, and expert systems—the book equips readers with the skills needed to engineer sophisticated logic-based applications, optimize performance, and integrate Prolog seamlessly with contemporary technologies. This volume is an indispensable resource for students, professionals, and researchers seeking to unlock the full expressive power of logic programming.

    What is the meaning of existence? Is there a "Grand Architect"? Is there an ultimate truth searched for by countless generations and lost in the mists of time? 
 
Today we have a new science, a new terminology to explain and expound upon the biggest beliefs and religious systems. It has become apparent that the truth and understanding of our inner selves is, in the end, our ultimate quest. The void between belief and reality is indicative of the troubled planet we live on. As we all approach a dynamic future, the answers will emerge, although they might not be what we're expecting.

    Sustainability - A Very Short...

    The growing concern about global environmental change and human impacts on the planet has led to the emergence of a broad field of study on the 'sustainability' of human societies. The term's common usage can be traced back to the advent of the Earth Summit in 1992 when 'sustainable development' was broadly embraced by the international community as an ostensibly win-win proposition for economic development, social inclusion, and ecological conservation. Yet both the natural science underpinnings and the social implications of a quest for sustainability have been diffuse. There is a need for a coherent synthesis which draws out key themes from both natural and social analysis of the concept.This Very Short Introduction begins by introducing the concept of sustainability and how it has developed. The central chapters consider four key concepts crucial to sustainability: a) material and energy flows in consumption and production; b) technological interventions for a sustainable society; c) tipping points, and resilience in natural and social systems; and d) renewability and circularity in the economy. In the concluding chapter, Saleem H. Ali explores political means of managing anthropogenic change for a more sustainable society.
