I am looking for good beginners material on Prolog, both online and printed. I am not only interested in 'learning the language' but also in background and scientific information.
Check out Learn Prolog Now!
This book is well-written, should be easy to read for beginners. It's available in printed form and also as a free online version. It is also relatively new (from 2003), which is not the case with many Prolog books out there.

Once upon a time when I used Prolog I liked the book by Sterling & Shapiro, The Art of Prolog.
For advanced Prolog programming, especially w.r.t. efficiency, I recommend the Craft of Prolog by O'Keefe.
Here's one book you may find useful: Prolog Programming for Artificial Intelligence by Ivan Bratko.
The first part is about Prolog, the second about AI algorithms and how to implement them in Prolog.
Writing an Adventure Game in Prolog could also be a good way to learn.
If you want a very accessible and solid introduction to Prolog (this is more into 'learning the language'), go for "Programming in Prolog: Using the ISO Standard" by Clocksin and Mellish, now in it's 5th edition.
Try Logic, Programming and Prolog (free download). I haven't read it, but it's broken up into Foundations, Programming in Logic, and Alternative Logic Programming Schemes, so it sounds like it has something for everybody.
Here's a page with a slew of useful links
You MUST read Nany's Tutorial. Learn Prolog while you create a complete game.
I haven't seen this one metioned yet and thought it was a good read.
