The author`s research over the past few years has been in the area of the nuclear shell model solved not by diagonalization, but by integration. In what follows, the author describes the shell-model Monte Carlo (SMMC) method, and discusses two recent and interesting results obtained from theory. These include calculations of electron-capture rates in fp-shell nuclei, and pairing correlations in medium-mass nuclei near N = Z.
