There is a wonderful classic book book entitled The Staircase: History and Theories by John Templar (1994) from MIT Press. We have referenced it in several of our books, even as recent as our newest book, Studying Disability. Templar discusses the
meanings of stairs throughout the ages. A classic gem.
