You might also like to check Fril which is a logic programming language
incorporating fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainty.

See http://www.fen.bris.ac.uk/engmaths/research/aigroup/fril.html

or another book by RSP/Wiley:

Fril - Fuzzy and Evidential Reasoning in AI

ISBN 0 86380 159 5

LPA do a fuzzy logic add-on, also.
