Reference for continuous (multivariate) distributions?

A reference that not just enlist the formulas of continuous (multivariate) distributions but goes in details about them and maybe treat the relations between them (e.g. derivation/proofs, intuition and applications).

Of course the normal distribution is not the problem, but, for example, the following are hardly touched in many books:

  • Gamma, Beta
  • Chi-square
  • Student's t
  • Multivariate Student's t

I found these references/books so far:

  • statlect.com: contains all the mentioned distributions above but still feels like just a database of formulas.
  • Introduction to Probability, Second Edition By Joseph K. Blitzstein, Jessica Hwang : this book touches on non-multivariate continuous distribution, and a good gamma, beta reference.
