'''cosmopolis'''
Editor's note: Most definitions of '''cosmopolis''' refer to what is effectively a large metropolis, and no doubt there are a handful of 'great' cities in this world, but none of them could qualify as a 'universe city'. Nevertheless, this does not obviate cultivating an appreciation for the history of such a 'place' that is served well by Stephen Toulmin's book, '''''Cosmopolis: The Hidden Agenda of Modernity''''' ISBN 0226808386
