It looks like only 1 of the 5 groups you mentioned are represented. The author did state that he tried to limit it to no more than 2 representatives from any given family or group. He kept to it for the most part, except for the raptors and shorebirds. And having 2 of the world's 15 cranes included may be a bit much. But cranes are amazing, so I can't fault that too much. Here is the complete list.

Just curious. To me, it is more bird groups that I would want to see. Like at least one representative of the pittas, woodswallows, fairy-wrens, nandus, seed snipes etc. Would you list the 100 species, please? Just curious.
