Wasserman all of statistics is the best I know, for my purposes.
Mathematical statistics goes trough measure theoretic probability, it connects statistics and mathematic and unifies the discrete and the continuous cases into a coherent whole.
All of Statistics by Larry Wasserman is the book I recommend for anyone who knows calculus and linear algebra and wants to learn statistics.
