		In graph theory, Mac Lane's planarity criterion is a characterisation of planar graphs in terms of their cycle spaces.
		It states that a finite graph G is planar if and only if the cycle space C(G), which in topologists' terms is the space of 1-cycles with mod 2 coefficients of G as simplicial complex, has a 2-basis, i.e.

		If you are a mathematician and have some experience, then you turn to the masters, the originators of the given subject and read their work.
		Sure, being the founder of a given subject does not imply that you are a good expositor and hence are capable of revealing the necessary concepts for the beginner-allow me to inform that Mac Lane is indeed as good as an expositor as he was a mathematician.
		Aside from that, and with respect to the text, for most beginners or interested readers I would suggest the following outline: Read 1.1-6; 2.1-3 and 8 possibly 2.4; all of 3; as for 4 skip section 3; 5.1-5; all of 8.
