CoC is a techincal topic. I, myself, is also quite confused by the circle of confusion. But there are a few articles on the web which you'll easily find if you do a search, mostly very technical (mathematical) though. Here's two very simple explanation :

There's also a chart of CoC for various cams :

Near and far focus distances basically means the nearest and the furthest distances where objects will be in focus.
