The book shows how to implement a relational programming language in Scheme, or in any other functional language, and demonstrates the remarkable flexibility of the resulting relational programs. As in the first edition, the pedagogical method is a series of questions and answers, which proceed with the characteristic humor that marked \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Little Schemer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Seasoned Schemer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
