Galdós
The sheer volume of prolific Spanish novelist and playwright Benito Pérez Galdós's literary production has rendered overall assessment of his body of work all but impossible. The later volumes in his ambitious and popular Episodios nacionales series, in particular, have suffered from scholarly indifference. In this acclaimed study, Brian J. Dendle closely considers the twenty-six novels in this series written between 1898 and 1912. These episodios, Dendle contests, are artistically superior to the earlier volumes and offer a unique opportunity to establish the ideological profile of the mature Galdós.
The Road to Better Long-Term Care in Asia and the Pacific
The Asian Development Bank is at the forefront of providing countries across Asia and the Pacific with the technical assistance needed to develop long-term care systems and services for older people. This report shares insights from six diverse countries at different stages of demographic change: Indonesia, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tonga, and Viet Nam. It explores the situation of long-term care development in these countries, identifies common challenges and promising practices, and recommends key priorities for future action in system strengthening and service delivery.
The Social Protection Indicator for Asia
This report assesses social protection measures in Asia and outlines the need for more inclusive, shock-responsive policies to cut poverty and to spur equitable development.

Explaining why the COVID-19 pandemic made many more vulnerable, the report suggests that it also offers opportunities for longer-term expansion of social protection. It proposes measures for strengthening data collection and compilation to enhance design and effectiveness of social protection.
Economics of Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions in South Asia
Against a backdrop of increasing emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that are responsible for global climate change, the South Asia developing member countries (DMCs) of the Asian Development Bank have been witnessing a steady rise in fossil fuels and energy consumption and demand, keeping pace with their economic growth. The region's major challenge is how to achieve sustained and rapid economic growth for reducing poverty while reducing the overall intensity of energy use, increasing energy efficiency, and substituting to cleaner energy. This report synthesizes the results of national studies on options and costs of reducing GHG emissions in five South Asia DMCs---Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. It examines the economics of cleaner technologies that promote low-carbon development and climate change mitigation, identifies constraints and barriers that reduce incentives to invest in GHG emission-reducing technologies, and recommends actions and enabling conditions to overcome the barriers.

Setting out the social, economic, and environmental benefits of a shift to hybrid systems, the report explains how other climate vulnerable countries could follow suit and adopt similar low-carbon technologies to improve their energy security. The Maldives’ experience is particularly unique, given the vast number of islands covered, underscores the potential for innovation and resilience in addressing global energy challenges.
