What is "head"?

...No, I don't mean what Monica did to Bill...

I don't have a water cooling setup yet, and have have had one, so I'm doing some research to find out what the best components are. One spec I've noticed is this "feet of head", and I have no idea what it actually means. The only thing I can think of in a watercooling setup that might be measured in feet is total length of hosing, but then why wouldn't it be called "feet of hose" instead of "feet of head"...anyway, what is it, and how does it relate to determining the capabilities of a pump? Is more head good or bad? (Once again, remember I'm talking about pump specs... )
