What is the different between Fundamentals of Physics Extended and non extended

In summary, the conversation is about the difference between the non-extended and extended versions of a book on Fundamentals of Physics. The person is wondering if they can still use the extended version instead of the non-extended one. They tried reading the descriptions on Amazon, but they both seem to have the same information. It is mentioned that the extended version has additional chapters on Relativity, Quantum Physics, and Nuclear Physics, but otherwise the content is the same. The person also expresses their gratitude for the help and mentions that their professor may not be knowledgeable about the difference between the versions.
