Eva Meijer (born 1980)[1] is a Dutch philosopher and writer.
Work
[edit]Bird Cottage creates a fictional life for the British naturalist and musician Gwendolen Howard, based on the little that is known of her. Howard studied birds in Sussex.[2] In Animal Languages and in When Animals Speak, Meijer argues that animals have been speaking to us all along, if only we would recognise it, and that humans should learn to understand what they are telling us, for their protection and ours.[3][4]
