Add Peter Singer?

Within the discussions of various political and philosophical motivations around cosmopolitanism, I think there is something to be contributed by inclusion of Peter Singer, particularly his book The Expanding Circle. In this book, which I believe is out of print, he argues that humanity has gone along a moral progression where the subjects of moral consideration expand from self and immediate family through a progression of larger groups of people with the ultimate end point of moral universalism and cosmopolitanism. Because the book is out of print--or it was the last time I tried to buy it--I don't think I'm equipped to add this section myself.

Anyone out there a better expert on this? Singer's work (including the related arguments found in his more popular book The Life you can Save, seem to me to be a pretty significant work in that he is a serious academic moral philosopher whose works are also widely read and discussed among non-academic people grappling with moral issues.
