Focusing on man's unique relationship with the sea, Savage Seas recounts stories of shark attacks and ice expeditions, cyclones and vanishing submarines. Through eye-witness testimonies, Savage Seas reveals accounts of dangerous encircling currents and surging tides causing collisions and shipwrecks; the venemous sea creatures lurking in the depths of the ocean and on its shores which can killin seconds; the mythical beasts that have become scientific reality, from giant sea serpents and giant squid attacks to a real-life Jonah swallowed by a whale.

After Hurricane Higgins crashed out of snooker's top league, Jimmmy White has been the `People's Champion' even though he never quite made the top World spot, pipped at the post in 1995 by Stephen Hendry, after missing one single black. Aged 16, White was the youngest player to win the English Amateur Championship. At 18, he won the World Amateur title. By 1984, he's a professional success, married but not at all settled. He's the kind of man who goes out for a packet of cigarettes and comes home two weeks later. Gambling, women, marathon binges with showbiz friends like Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones, have threatened the stability of his marriage. But somehow White has survived, to tell in candid detail, a most unusual, often outrageous story of a very sporting life.
