Searching on wikipedia will give a more thorough answer than mine, but here are the basics...
A recurve bow is a bow with limbs that curve away from the archer when unstrung, when it is strung, it keeps that distinctive curve and also gives more power in the draw when shot.
Recurves were used especially by Mongolians and other horse-archers because their bows were short for portability and manouvering but were recurved to give them strength and tension when drawn for a powerful shot.
