I haven't examined that book directly but based on the preview and
blurb, it does seem to be beginner oriented, thus likely to have gaps of
its own.  If you're trying to fill gaps, you probably want something
more complete and advanced.

I semi-recently got another book that looks very good, though it's still
sitting around without my having read much of it: Analysable Real-Time
Systems: Programmed in Ada, by Andy Wellings and Alan Burns.  It is
basically an updated reprint of an older book by the same authors,
self-published in paperback, so it is a good value.
