Our old friend Mac gave his explanation of compression for beginners many years ago here -
http://audiominds.com/compression.html

This explanation broke it down enough for me to grasp things and run with it.
It explains the basic concept very well IMO

Another good example is his explanation of Gain Staging

I'd almost forgot about audiominds, thanks for jarring my memory; lots of good basic stuff archived there.
