a gem!

The author Peter Flach has contributed a lot to the logic-based AI literature, in particular in abduction and induction. As expected, this book devoted some sections to abduction and inductive learning, illustrated by Prolog code. I find the inductive reasoning chapter particularly helpful. If you find the book hard to understand -- I skipped the introductory chapters so I don't know -- you may try Ivan Bratko's Prolog textbook.
