well-tempered tuning system

hi
  does anyone know the meaning of "well-tempered tuning system "  and  " equal temperament " ?
   
  also, why did Bach composed the 48 preludes and fugues?

thank you very much

Yes, I know the meaning thanks,
Ed

p.s. I'm sure there is much literature on the internet about it which could explain it better than I can.
