A desktop Environment is, put very simply, a window manager (graphical interface) + other utilities on top of the operating system.

If you want to install gnome:

Log out of your current session then press ctrl+alt+f1

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop

If you get any errors after installing, try

sudo apt-get install -f

If you don't, then

sudo service gdm restart

Then you can click the little icon next to your log in name and should be good to go
