Book Description
Television critics complain it's unrealistic—FBI agents Mulder and Scully tracking extraterrestrial intelligences loose upon the world. Followers of The X-Files TV series can't seem to get enough.
Now, author Hal Schuster offers fans the key to unlocking The X-Files. His latest book,
Unauthorized Guide to The X-Files reveals everything the television network FOX doesn't want viewers to know. It will help readers unravel the story line, episode by episode. They'll discover bloopers that were covered up and others that went forgotten. They can download inside jokes, Internet data, and scoops about comic-book and novel clones.
This x-traordinarily detailed guide provides a probing look at the X-File series, which has received the Golden Globe Awards and recognition in the Emmys. From its conception to its fourth year on air, readers will discover:
• What inspired Chris Carter, an ex-surfer, to create The X-Files
• How critics, the industry, and viewers have reacted to the series
• How similar Anderson and Duchovny are to the characters Mulder and Scully
• How many mistakes appear in an average episode of The X-Files
Even TV critics may want to investigate this one:
Unauthorized Guide to the X-Files opens with an analytical look at the latest real-life evidence pointing toward outer-space intelligence. According to Schuster, TV's most terrifying series may be far closer to reality than fiction.
It also includes an extensive appendix that lists real-life X-Files and the organizations that investigate them, as well as an overview of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Readers will find listed hundreds of magazines, agencies and on-line sites featuring the sort of topics found on The X-Files

Good butnot unique........1998-04-06
This book has much the same information as other books on the X files.
A Classic.......1997-08-04
The definitive work on the subject. Schuster writes in an accessible and entertaining style while drawing upon his encylcopedic knowledge of this important TV series. My only nitpick is that the treatment of the stars is uniformly positive - you won't find any dirt here! But there's enough hard-to-find info to keep even the most-addicted fans awake in absorption. The cover looks great, too
Customer Reviews:
Very informative, an essential guide to the first 2 seasons.......2001-07-11
I bought this book shortly after I began watching "The X-files" during its summer reruns for season three. It was essential in my current understanding of the show. I'm always on the lookout for another X-files book like this one. It offers all the details on only the important things. I bought it ... and have gotten more than I ever hoped or expected out of it. Even now, I still occasionally find myself leafing through it to look up some eposide or mythology fact that has eluded me. I haven't bought another book on he X-files only because I haven't found one that meets my expectations after reading this one.
x-files for the neophyte.......1998-10-26
Having just tuned in to the X-files this summer, I sought HELP in keeping the confusing episode timeline straight. This book has incredibly detailed, fascinating episode descriptions & lots of great trivia. A much funner read than the official website. My only regret is it only goes through Season 3. Highly recommended.
Informative.......1998-08-24
Very informative on the stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, also informative on many episodes, also gives mistakes, and dossiers on Mulder and Scully
Customer Reviews:
'A MUST HAVE'!.......2000-01-22
This is definitely a 'must have' book for all X-Files fans! Every person, place, company name, historical reference or 'you name it' ever mentioned in seasons 1-4 is covered here! Also serves as an episode guide! Mine stays right next to me whenever I am watching the reruns! Get it...now!
The Best X-Files Book Out There!.......1998-12-04
This is so packed with details that I am always searching for. It's awesome, it's so cool. It has everything that you need to know about the X-files, I have nothing but praise for the author. I love the fact that it told so much about all of the characters and stuff, and it's just so great that I recommend if you're as obsessed as I am about the show, to go and buy it. It's definitely worth the price. Again, really great book!!!
The book gives all the info you need up to season 4.......1998-06-23
I thought that the book had alot to give and I realy liked it. If any one has a good X-files book tell me what it is called
EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE X-FILES.......1997-11-27
This is the COMPLETE reference guide to my favorite TV show. Idon'tthink the authors missed a thing in this book...it is absolutely mind-boggling to see so many entries. From A to Z, The X-Files has never before been put under such focused, affectionate, and meticulous scrutiny. The X-CYCLOPEDIA is the ULTIMATE reference book on the series and if I only had $15 in my pocket and could only buy one book about THE X-FILES, then it would be this one. Hands down, this is THE best reference book on THE X-FILES ever written. I give it two thumbs up, four stars, or whatever critics use as a measuring stick. No X-Phile should be without it! The truth is no longer OUT there...it is IN the X-CYCLOPEDIA!
Absolutely, positively, without doubt a must for X-Philes........1997-11-02
Absolutely, positively, without a doubt the best and most complete reference book that has ever been published on THE X-FILES. This incredibly detailed and beautifully illustrated book covers everything you ever wanted to know about THE X-FILES but were afraid to ask! It is a massive undertaking that covers everything in easy to use A-Z alphabetical format. Every entry cites the episode it came from and every character has the actor's name. Say for example, in the letter (B): you will find lengthy entries for everything from Bear ("Ice") to Bay Area Carpeteers (the Chinese employer of Shuyang Hsin in "Hell Money") and Big Blue ("Quagmire"), from Babcock ("Gethsemane") to Bright White Place ("Nisei") and Biodiversity Project ("F. Emasculata") and tons of entries in between. It is also a very timely book as it covers all previous 4 seasons. I also love the classy look of the book, the good-grade paper and the typeset inside and, especially the price. Oh, how could I forget the illustrations! No more reused stock photos (that we've all seen in every magazine), but the coolest artwork enhances the book. Wait until you check out Flukeman, Mama Peacock and Dr. Zama! THE X-CYCLOPEDIA is a BIG book (with thousands of entries) and for only $15 it's a better deal than the 2 or 3 X-Files magazines I buy each month that total more than $15. If you call yourself an X-Phile, then you don't want to be without this DEFENITIVE reference book to the series! This is THE book of the X-FILES, and I highly recommend it.
Customer Reviews:
Great pilot, wonderful book........1998-07-17
What can I say? it was great.
It did not tell me what I wanted to know........1998-07-15
The summaries in the book were way too short and wanted to kill them. the index in the back is too brief and does not contain every thing I wanted to know
A nice start for X-philes.......1998-01-08
I didn't knew anything about X-files characters and stories before reading this book. It is a great way to understand the stories behind the stories (why they did that story ? Why this character reappeared ?). However, if you are an experienced x-files' viewer you will not find a good reference about episodes, characters, writters, etc. Anyway, I enjoy its reading and it is a good reference for new or intermediate x-philes.
Great for behind-the-scenes info!.......1997-02-18
This book is excellent for people who want to learn more about what happens behind the scenes on THE X-FILES. It also contains summaries for every episode in the first three seasons
Customer Reviews:
So worth the money.......1999-08-17
My brother got me this book for my birthday two years ago. It is my bible and my life (kind of sad, actually!) Anyways, it's really good and like that other guy said, if you take a few months to memorize it, you'll the X-Files Genius and you can impress your friends with little tidbits of knowledge. For example, what's Scully's home phone number? I'm not telling.. get it and look it up yourself! Note: good book for diehard fans!
Fun trivia for true fans.......1998-04-26
If you think you know EVERYTHING about the best show on television, you're wrong. These guys pull up obscure info and quiz you on it, drawing not only from the episodes but from interviews, books, and magazines. This is a great book and a must for an X-Phile's library! My only complaint: after reading Phil Farrand's lighthearted Nitpicker's Guide, the authors of this book seem really critical. I mean, what's up with their review of "War of the Coprophages"? Lighten up! Other than that, of course, diehard fans will cherish this book.
Stumps the Best.......1997-10-05
I've always considered myself an X-pert. None of my online friends (or real life for that matter) has ever been able to stump me on X-Files trivia. I'm completely addicted to the show and have 15 books.
This one is definately one of the best, pointing out many of the nitpicks and netpicks we've philes have already discovered in addition to new ones that sent me back to look for them. The trivia is extremely difficult and interesting.
I recommend this book to all philes who think they know it all. Take a few months to memorize this book and then you will know it all.
Fun & Challenging.......1997-07-16
It seems everybody is doing an episode guide, but this book is different...it is all trivia, behind-the-scenes, and nitpicking. Loads of fun if THE X-FILES is your weekly fix. My son and I used it as a game to keep us occupied on a flight from NYC to San Diego as we tested each other's knowledge of our favorite TV show. I highly recommend this book...Must reading for X-Philes
An X-Phile's Treasury.......1997-02-18
Over 1,000 questions from the first three (3) seasons of my favorite TV show in a challenging format to test the gray cells of my brain. How would I describe this book: An X-Files version of JEOPARDY! More than just something to read...a book to play and damn well worth the $$$. I highly recommend it to any die-hard X-Phile
Book Description
This new edition of The Art of Prolog contains a number of important changes. Most background sections at the end of each chapter have been updated to take account of important recent research results, the references have been greatly expanded, and more advanced exercises have been added which have been used successfully in teaching the course.
Part II, The Prolog Language, has been modified to be compatible with the new Prolog standard, and the chapter on program development has been significantly altered: the predicates defined have been moved to more appropriate chapters, the section on efficiency has been moved to the considerably expanded chapter on cuts and negation, and a new section has been added on stepwise enhancement -- a systematic way of constructing Prolog programs developed by Leon Sterling.
All but one of the chapters in Part III, Advanced Prolog Programming Techniques, have been substantially changed, with some major rearrangements. A new chapter on interpreters describes a rule language and interpreter for expert systems, which better illustrates how Prolog should be used to construct expert systems. The chapter on program transformation is completely new and the chapter on logic grammars adds new material for recognizing simple languages, showing how grammars apply to more computer science examples.

Pricey but a must have.......2006-12-21
Admittedly, this one tends to be a bit pricey. But, the content is pure gold for any programmer. Nowhere is the Prolog paradigm better conveyed than here. And, it is of little value to you if you attempt to learn prolog with a mindset of some other language. Prolog is unique and demands a unique way of looking at computer programming in general. It is dated a bit in that it does not cover all the latest developments in Prolog/AI research but no other Prolog books provide the foundational understanding that it does. Get this one for a solid foundation and then build on it with others. See my listmania list of AI Language books for suggestions of followup titles.
Great new programming paradigm........2005-09-27
I am currently working as a computer hardware design engineer. I have always been looking for new software methodology to improve my hardware design flow. Prolog, and especially its presentation in this book, shows me an interesting and powerful view of how computer programming should be.
Overall, I am a true believer in Prolog and logic programming after reading this book.
One of the 4 best books on computer programming.......2005-02-15
This, to me, is one of the 4 best books on computer programming. Unfortunately, it is hard. Not because the book is poorly written - it is like a wonderful story, but because understanding how to think declaratively after being taught something like C or Java is like someone giving you a pair of wings when you're a mudfish.
Thinking declaratively changes how you think about problems and how you write code. It's a career changing experience. This book leads the way.
Top 4:
* Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (Sussman, Abelson)
* The Art of Prolog by Sterling/Shapiro
* Introduction to Algorithms by Cormen, etc.
* Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming by Van Roy and Haridi
A classic.......2003-08-12
This book is a must for anyone starting to program in Prolog or interested in logic programming.
A downsize of the book (if any) can be that it could have detailed more in the respect of Prolog's applications. The pleasant style of the authors would have made a wonderful introduction into these fields.
A real pleasure to read.
Gentle and comprehensive.......2002-08-12
If you have previous programming experience, Prolog will be quite a challenge. Logic programming is very different from functional or imperative, and will definitely be a major culture shock.
The first part of the book introduces the concepts of logic programming at the right pace, giving you time to assimilate everything. The second part contains several applications of Prolog.
This is a great first book on Prolog and will certainly help you `getting it'.
