- Martin Henson - Elements of Functional Programming (old, and on purpose, I like to have a sense of the pre trend FP mindset) I suggest everyone to try to grab it (library or paid tree), the cover is so pretty https://www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/elements-function...

Had a bunch of books about electricity/electronics (google for 'best book about ...')

Also bitcoin got me to hear about Statistics:

- http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/ISL - https://web.stanford.edu/~hastie/Papers/ESLII.pdf

Lastly, Queinnec LiSP is never far from reach

On the topic of pretty covers, I love the covers of these two books a lot:

1. The Art of the Metaobject Protocol (https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/art-metaobject-protocol)

2. The Art of Prolog (https://www.amazon.com/Art-Prolog-Second-Programming-Techniq...)

but haven't been able to find any other motivation to buy them. Also I have never printed the Common Lisp Quick Reference(http://clqr.boundp.org/clqr-a4-booklet-all.pdf) because I always imagine it having a really pretty cover, and everything I try just falls short.

Oh, we used the Art of Prolog in my sw engineering course. It's a good book, although it doesn't cover the newer features of Prolog interpreters, like Constraint Logic Programming, IIRC.

Thanks for the review, I have my eyes set on The Reasoned Schemer(https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/reasoned-schemer-second-editi...) if I ever feel like learning more about logic programming, maybe after that I can give The Art of Prolog a go :)

[agumonkey]

are there standard or near standard books about new topics in Logic Programming ?

I don't know, but there's a recommendation here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=869042

side note: found a book about geometry in prolog https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-4-431-68036-9_...
