passive and active?

hey, i've been playing bass for about 8 months now. I love it and everything its just that im trying to find a great set of pickups for my bass but i'm confused about the whole active and passive deal. I dont really know anything about it, so it would be great if someone could sort of give me some info on the topic to help me out. thanx -peace ;)
