Does this physics textbook include these topics?

In summary, the physics book linked below covers mechanics, kinetic theory and thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, and modern physics. The corresponding chapters for each topic are listed in the table of contents, but it is rare for a course to cover all of these topics from one textbook.

I'm completely new to physics so I can't really tell for myself. I just want to make sure this textbook covers everything that I'll be learning next year. Thanks!
