Elements of Modern Physics book recommendations?

[HououinKyouma]

Hello, undergrad Physics student here. I have a course called "Elements of Modern Physics" this semester. Looking for some good book recommendations. Note that I need a book for self-study as I have decided to skip out on lectures because they are online right now and combined with a bad prof, they are hard to understand. These are the topics I have to cover:

Thanks

I am very fond of Elementary Modern Physics by Paul Tipler. No one book will exactly match your professor's selections of course.

Eisberg-Resnick ( ISBN-13: 978-0471873730 ) is a bit old but follows the syllabus.

I really like Beiser's modern physics textbook. It covers pretty much the topics you mention.

Another person also recommended me the same book. I guess I will go with this one a shot. Thanks.

I taught an intro modern physics course about 1985-2006, using Beiser as published by McGraw-Hill USA. I thought it was a good fit for students who had completed a standard two-semester intro (classical) physics course. The last time I looked on Amazon some years ago, the most recent edition was the 6th (2002), the last one I used, and it was out of print.

I looked on Amazon again just now and was surprised to find a newer 7th edition (2015) by Beiser, Mabajan and Choudhury, published by McGraw-Hill India. I have no idea what changes have been made by the new authors.
