Combining inspiration, experience, and technique, this guide to landscape photography goes beyond traditional realistic landscapes and teaches photographers to create their own impressionistic images of the natural world. Instructions are provided for such camera techniques as lens movement, lighting, filtration, and creative exposure, so that photographers can manipulate their images to have dreamlike qualities. Darkroom techniques such as sandwiching negatives, controlling contrast and grain, and color control can be used on their own or with the camera techniques to yield spectacular results.

If I had to throw away one book only, this is the one.
Creativity is a subjective thing. In photography, it is even harder to define. In this book, there are less than five images that can be defined as photographs. You cannot just muddle the images and make them hardly recognizable as photographs and put them in the category of impressionism. I have the impression that these photographs are poor imitations of Freeman Patterson's dreamscape photographs. I found the images in the other book - Fine Art Photography - more creative and acceptable.
I am really disappointed. Sorry, I just cannot find the creativity here.

This compilation of stunning images from nature is truly a work of art. It is hard to believe that they are photographs! An added bonus is the author's description of how he photographically created the images which would be of great interest to nature photographers. This is truly a beautiful book.
