This work is concerned with the teaching and understanding of history with the aid of a computer. It draws on ideas and experience from a wide range of disciplines including philosophy, social science, artificial intelligence and computer science, all of which share a use of logic. Examples are developed in the language micro-PROLOG, which is widely available and accessible for use on personal computers. The book combines advanced research ideas from the theory and practice of history teaching with the latest work in the fields of artificial intelligence and education. The view of logic programming which is expounded here is central to Fifth Generation Computing research in Britain and Japan. The text concentrates on a practical logical approach, emphasizing clear thinking and description. Extensive reference is made to classroom experience, using a variety of teaching methods to approach different problems with students of a wide range of ages and abilities.
