Diamond has written 4 books, including Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality, The Third Chimpanzee: The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal, Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, and Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. Since Diamond's most recent book is Collapse, I'm not sure why they talked solely about Guns, Germs, and Steel. I'm not complaining though, as Guns, Germs, and Steel has been my favorite non-fiction book for some time now.
