The first is a type of combinator selector (where two selectors are separated by white space) and you would find reference to it in any half decent guide on CSS selectors; it's called a 'descendent' selector and is the mainstay for applying rules to a particular element, if you google on descendent selectors you should find further reading which will explain in fuller detail than we can here and this is an important selector to understand as it is used a lot.
The second simply says that the named class is applicable when found on a div element, it restricts the class to only being effective on a certain element, where leaving of the element allows the class to be applied to any element in the markup
