"Those" is when we speak of something in the distance, for an example: "Those books", like they're a few feet away.
We use "these" when the books are really close to us, or when we hold the books.
Remember to always use "those" and "these" with plural nouns.

I might get myself a pair of those shoes.             You can use any one of these computers.

I need to paint those windows.                             Can I have one of these?

 

These and those are plural. We use them as determiners and pronouns and furtherly, to point to people and things.
