Hey guys. I was wondering if this physics book linked below includes these following topics:
mechanics, kinetic theory and thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, and modern physics

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0321625927/?tag=pfamazon01-20

You can view the table of contents by previewing, or here are the titles of the chapter if it helps:

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!

Chapters 16-22
waves and optics,
Chapters 11-12, 22-25
and modern physics
Chapters 26-33

By the way, it's rare for any course to cover all the topics in a textbook, even at the college/university level.
